MATLAB: Capitalize first letter in string array

Question

How am I supposed to access, let's say, the first character of every member of a string array? For example, I would like to capitalize the first letter of each word.

str = ["house", "stone", "summer"]

Answer 1

You can do it using conventional slicing. To get a capital of a letter I used upper function

for i=1:size(str,2)
    str{i}(1)=upper(str{i}(1))
end
