strvcat - Concatenate strings vertically

Syntax

S = strvcat(t1, t2, t3, ...)
S = strvcat(c)

Description

S = strvcat(t1, t2, t3, ...) forms the character array S containing the text strings (or string matrices) t1,t2,t3,... as rows. Spaces are appended to each string as necessary to form a valid matrix. Empty arguments are ignored.

S = strvcat(c) when c is a cell array of strings, passes each element of c as an input to strvcat. Empty strings in the input are ignored.

Remarks

If each text parameter, ti, is itself a character array, strvcat appends them vertically to create arbitrarily large string matrices.

Examples

The command strvcat('Hello','Yes') is the same as ['Hello';'Yes '], except that strvcat performs the padding automatically.

t1 = 'first'; t2 = 'string'; t3 = 'matrix'; t4 = 'second';

S1 = strvcat(t1, t2, t3)        S2 = strvcat(t4, t2, t3)

S1 =                            S2 =

first                           second
string                          string
matrix                          matrix

S3 = strvcat(S1, S2)

S3 =
first
string 
matrix
second
string 
matrix
