MATLAB: How to create a matrix of strings in a MEX-file with MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)

Question

I would like to create a matrix of strings in a MEX-file with MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b).

Answer 1

There is a function available from the MATLAB API which does this :

mxCreateCharMatrixFromStrings

This function will allow you to create a populated 2-dimensional mxArray of strings.

For more information about this function, please consult your MATLAB External Interfaces documentation. This information is also available online at:
