You can use sprintf:
result = sprintf('%-16s','hello');
Or it can be created using array concatenation:
ex = 'hello';
result = [ex blanks(16-length(ex))];
Padding with other characters(e.g. 'a'):
ex = 'hello';
result = [ex repmat('a',1,16-length(ex))];
*As of MATLAB R2016b you can use pad function.
