MATLAB: Construct String for Query

Question

I am querying a remote MongoDB Database within Matlab using the Matlab Database Toolbox interface for MongoDB.

Queries tipically look like this:

query5473 = '{"_ref":{$oid:"5ce3e0ec620ea1990ce172177"}, "eventTypeId":5473}';

However, I would like to not manually type the ID but rather use the some element from an array like this:

queryExample = '{"_ref":{$oid:SomeArray(1)}, "eventTypeId":5473}';

Unfortunatelly this results in an error.

Could someone help me out?

Answer 1

query5473 = sprintf('{"_ref":{$oid:"%s"}, "eventTypeId":5473}', SomeArray{1})
