MATLAB: Display Text Without Formatting

displayhyperlink

The following string displays in the command window formatted as a hyperlink. How do I display the entire contents of str without formatting?

>> str = '<test TEST>'
str =
TEST

Best Answer

You can replace all the occurrences of href by HREF for display:

str = {'<test TEST1>';'<test TEST2>'};
dispStr = regexprep(str,'href','HREF');
disp(dispStr)

MATLAB: Why is a blank ignored in strcat

'% 2.0f' adds a leading space on demand only, so you want: ' %2.0f'.

But this would be nicer, faster and less confusing:

sprintf('%02.0f-%d %d: % 2.0f', 1, 2, 3, 4)

To get around this ugly space gimmicks, which come from the backward compatibility to times before cell strings have been invented, I'm using a dedicated function to join strings: FEX: CStrCatStr. But this is designed for cell strings and for strings horzcat works sufficiently without deleting spaces smartly.

MATLAB: Function file that removes a character in a string

This replaces the hyphen with a space.

You can use the loop if you want. You simply have to tweak it:

n = length(str);
for k = 1:n
    if strfind(str(k),'-')
        str(k) = ' ';
    end
    strOut = str;
end

A simpler implementation eliminates the loop entirely:

The loop is the problem. Just use strfind:

k = strfind(str,'-')
str(k) = ' ';

There are other functions that will do this more effieicntly (that I will let you search out).
