GetCharArray (External Interfaces Reference)

Get character array from server

Syntax

MATLAB Client

string = h.GetCharArray('varname', 'workspace')
string = GetCharArray(h, 'varname', 'workspace')

string = invoke(h, 'GetCharArray', 'varname', 'workspace')

Method Signature

HRESULT GetCharArray ([in] BSTR varName, [in] BSTR Workspace, 
[out, retval] BSTR *mlString)

Visual Basic Client

GetCharArray(varname As String, workspace As String) As String

Description

GetCharArray gets the character array stored in the variable varname from the specified workspace of the server attached to handle h and returns it in string. The workspace argument can be either base or global.

Remarks

If you want output from GetCharArray to be displayed at the client window, you must specify an output variable (e.g., string).

Server function names, like GetCharArray, are case sensitive when using the first syntax shown.

There is no difference in the operation of the three syntaxes shown above for the MATLAB client.

Examples

Assign a string to variable str in the base workspace of the server using PutCharArray. Read it back in the client with GetCharArray.

MATLAB Client

h = actxserver('matlab.application');
h.PutCharArray('str', 'base', ...
   'He jests at scars that never felt a wound.');
S = h.GetCharArray('str', 'base')
S =
  He jests at scars that never felt a wound.

Visual Basic Client

Dim Matlab As Object
Dim S As String
Matlab = CreateObject("matlab.application")
Matlab.PutCharArray("str", "base",
   "He jests at scars that never felt a wound.")
S =  Matlab.GetCharArray("str", "base")
