How to add string to the beginning of each element in a string array?

Hi there,

I'm trying to append a string to the beginning of each element in a string array. Specifically, I'd like to add the text "Syl_" such that I can turn the string array s1 into the string array s2.

s1 = string(1:4)

 1×4 string array

    "1"    "2"    "3"    "4"
    
 
s2 = ["Syl_1", "Syl_2", "Syl_3", "Syl_4"]

1×4 string array

    "Syl_1"    "Syl_2"    "Syl_3"    "Syl_4"

s2 = "Syl_" + s1

Works perfectly, thank you!

Give this a try:

s1 = string(1:4);

s2 = strcat('Syl_',s1)

Thank you so much! I didn't realize strcat read in arrays.
