Move string values to different variables

I have a string array 6x1 and I want to move the odds index string to variable v1 and the even index string to v2. I want to do it using loops.

A=string array 6x1
[row,col]=size(A)
v1=A(1);
v2=A(2);
for x=1:row-1
        v1(x)=A(x+(x+1))
        V2(x)=A(x+2)
end

[Walter Roberson]

        v1(x)=A(x+(x+1))
        V2(x)=A(x+2)

when x is 1, then that would be A(3) and A(3) .

when x is 2, then that would be A(5) and A(4)

When x is 3, then that would be A(7) and A(5) but A(7) does not exist
