MATLAB Function Reference |
Form blank-padded character matrix from strings
Syntax
Description
S = str2mat(T1, T2, T3, ...)
forms the matrix S
containing the text strings T1, T2, T3, ...
as rows. The function automatically pads each string with blanks in order to form a valid matrix. Each text parameter, Ti
, can itself be a string matrix. This allows the creation of arbitrarily large string matrices. Empty strings are significant.
Remarks
str2mat
differs from strvcat
in that empty strings produce blank rows in the output. In strvcat
, empty strings are ignored.
Examples
x = str2mat('36842', '39751', '38453', '90307'); whos x Name Size Bytes Class x 4x5 40 char array x(2,3) ans = 7
