Swap number with a word

Hi all,

I am wondering how I could swap a number in a vector with a word. I have a vector from 1 to 100 ( linspace(1,100) ) and am trying to replace every fourth number with a word "height". Any suggestion on how to do this?

Thanks.

a=string(linspace(1,100));
a(4:4:end)=regexprep(a(4:4:end),'\d*','height')
