MATLAB: Disp format for strings

MATLABsprintf

Hi,

Is there a way to get the general matlab disp format for strings? I'm looking for a way to convert a number to a string that echoes the current disp format. num2str and mat2str don't do this, and (perhaps I missed it) I can't find anything in the s/fprintf documentation that gives me that option.

Thanks for any help you can offer. Best,

Sam

get(0,'Format') and analyze the returned string.

There is no printf/sprintf format specifier to say "match the current format setting"

You'll need to do

function writeToLog(fid, formatted_str)
    % Write to log file.
    fprintf(fid, '%s\n', formatted_str);
    % Print to command window.
    fprintf('%s\n', formatted_str);
end

MATLAB: Disp

The final disp(a) is within the scope of the last else. "else" does not terminate until an "end" -- you are not limited to providing only a single statement in an if or elseif or else clause.
