2char
Purpose Create character array (string)
Syntax S = char(X)
S = char(C)
S = char(t1,t2,t3...)
Description S = char(X) converts the array X that contains positive integers representing
character codes into a MATLAB character array (the first 127 codes are
ASCII). The actual characters displayed depend on the character set encoding
for a given font. The result for any elements of X outside the range from 0 to
65535 is not defined (and may vary from platform to platform). Use double to
convert a character array into its numeric codes.
S = char(C) when C is a cell array of strings, places each element of C into the
rows of the character array s. Use cellstr to convert back.
S = char(t1,t2,t3,..) forms the character array S containing the text
strings T1,T2,T3,... as rows, automatically padding each string with blanks to
form a valid matrix. Each text parameter, Ti, can itself be a character array.
This allows the creation of arbitrarily large character arrays. Empty strings
are significant.
Remarks Ordinarily, the elements of A are integers in the range 32:127, which are the
printable ASCII characters, or in the range 0:255, which are all 8-bit values.
For noninteger values, or values outside the range 0:255, the characters
printed are determined by fix(rem(A,256)).
Examples To print a 3-by-32 display of the printable ASCII characters:
ascii = char(reshape(32:127,32,3)')
ascii =
! ” # $ % & ' ( ) ∗ + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ?
