converting matrix into semicolon separated dataset

Well..i am new here in MATLAB. I want to know if i have a matrix how can i create a data set of values separated with semicolon (used to differentiate rows) from that same matrix?

e.g if d =
   4     5     5     7
   6     5     4     6
   5     4     4     7
   7     5     4     6

now how can i write d = [4 5 5 7; 6 5 4 6; 5 4 4 7; 7 5 4 6] again? is there any function to do this in matlab?

Answer 1

d = reshape(d,[4,4]);

Thanks for the reply sir. But it has not worked the way i want to. Actually, i ended up getting a matrix C having 4 rows and 250 columns. Now i want to create a data set for C which should be in the format d = [4 5 5 7; 6 5 4 6; 5 4 4 7; 7 5 4 6;......] and i will be using this C in some other function.

s='[' 
For k=1:size(d,1)
     s=[s num2str(d(k,:)) ';']
end
s(end)=']'

s = mat2str(d);

Thanks for the reply. It has created the data set but not separated by semicolons which represents the ROWS...

Please check again.

>> d = [4 5 5 7; 6 5 4 6; 5 4 4 7; 7 5 4 6]

d =

       4     5     5     7
       6     5     4     6
       5     4     4     7
       7     5     4     6

>> mat2str(d)

ans =

[4 5 5 7;6 5 4 6;5 4 4 7;7 5 4 6]

Note that this is a string, as the semi-colons are just an input notation that d not exist in the internal representation.
