How to get DISP result as a return parameter to a variable?

Question

Both disp and display functions have no return parameters and display the contents of the variable in the command window.

I would like to get the result of calling a function (display string) in a variable instead of outputting to a command window, something like this str = ToString( myStruct ); where the input variable is a MATLAB structure!

I know that the display result depends on the available width of the command window, it can be wide or narrow.

In all modern programming languages, this will be the obj.ToString() method.

Answer 1

toString = @(x) evalc('disp(x)')

Not really, but he has to do his job.

Answer 2

struct2str might be the solution to your problem.

Answer 3

Consider using sprintf . If necessary, you can write your own function for your data type.
