blanks (n) | Function File |
Return a string of n blanks. |
char (x) | Built-in Function |
char (cell_array) | Built-in Function |
char (s1, s2, ...) | Built-in Function |
Create a string array from a numeric matrix, cell array, or list of
If the argument is a numeric matrix, each element of the matrix is
converted to the corresponding ASCII character. For example,
char ([97, 98, 99]) => "abc" If the argument is a cell array of strings, the result is a string array with each element corresponding to one element of the cell array. For multiple string arguments, the result is a string array with each element corresponding to the arguments. The returned values are padded with blanks as needed to make each row of the string array have the same length. |
int2str (n) | Function File |
num2str (x, precision) | Function File |
num2str (x, format) | Function File |
Convert a number to a string. These functions are not very flexible,
but are provided for compatibility with MATLAB. For better control
over the results, use sprintf (see Formatted Output).
|
com2str (zz, flg) | Function File |
This function has been deprecated. Use num2str instead.
Convert complex number to a string. Inputs
|
strcat (s1, s2, ...) | Function File |
Return a string containing all the arguments concatenated. For example,
s = [ "ab"; "cde" ]; strcat (s, s, s) => "ab ab ab " "cdecdecde" |
string_fill_char | Built-in Variable |
The value of this variable is used to pad all strings in a string matrix
to the same length. It should be a single character. The default value
is " " (a single space). For example,
string_fill_char = "X"; [ "these"; "are"; "strings" ] => "theseXX" "areXXXX" "strings" |
str2mat (s_1, ..., s_n) | Function File |
Return a matrix containing the strings s_1, ..., s_n as
its rows. Each string is padded with blanks in order to form a valid
matrix.
This function is modelled after MATLAB. In Octave, you can create
a matrix of strings by |
ischar (a) | Built-in Function |
Return 1 if a is a string. Otherwise, return 0. |
isstr (a) | Function File |
This function has been deprecated. Use ischar instead. |
