TEXT = sprintf('%256s', 'Unformatted Data Version=');

In MATLAB, you can convert a string to a fixed length by padding it with spaces or truncating it to ensure it is exactly 256 characters long by using the "pad" function.
text = 'Unformatted Data Version=';
textUpdated = pad(text, 256);
disp(textUpdated);
Here is the documentation link for "pad" function:
I hope it helps your query!
