MATLAB: Inserting current date in string

Question

Hi,

I have a string such as follows:

st = 'Today is January 17 2012'

How can I automatically insert today's date in this string without manually typing it into the string. I am looking for something of the form:

st = 'Today is datestr(now)' – but obviously this does not produce the desired result.

Thanks,

Answer 1

sprintf('today is %s',datestr(now()))
