strvcat (MATLAB Function Reference)

Vertical concatenation of strings

Syntax

S = strvcat(t1,t2,t3,...)

Description

S = strvcat(t1,t2,t3,...)

forms the character array S containing the text strings (or string matrices) t1,t2,t3,... as rows. Spaces are appended to each string as necessary to form a valid matrix. Empty arguments are ignored.

Remarks

If each text parameter, ti, is itself a character array, strvcat appends them vertically to create arbitrarily large string matrices.

Examples

The command strvcat('Hello','Yes') is the same as ['Hello';'Yes '], except that strvcat performs the padding automatically.

t1 = 'first';t2 = 'string';t3 = 'matrix';t4 = 'second';

S1 = strvcat(t1,t2,t3)                 S2 = strvcat(t4,t2,t3)

S1 =                                 S2 =
                                  
first                                 second
string                             string
matrix                             matrix

S3 = strvcat(S1,S2)

S3 =
first
string 
matrix
second
string 
matrix
