% IO_formatEditString
% 
% Usage: [formattedString] = IO_formatEditString(editString)
%
% Abstract: This function gives the right format a string read from a edit
% text of a GUI ('editString'). A string readed from a edit box is matrix
% 'NrRows x NrCols' without formating, but the functions of the IO Folder
% need a string formatted in the following way: a vector row of characters
% formatted with '/n' after each row of the original string read from the
% edit. We usually use this function to format rightly a 'phys string',
% string of characters equal to a string of a Physical Topology File
% (*.phys), or a 'traff string', string of characters equal to a string of
% a  Traffic File (*.traff)
%
% Arguments:
% o	In: 
% . editString: String readed from a text edit without formatting.
%
% o	Out: 
% 	formattedString: Formatted string to use it in a function of the
%   IO Folder.

% 'editString' has not the right format: a string readed from a edit
% box is matrix 'NrRows x NrCols' without formating, but a 'formattedString' must
% be formatted as a vector row formatted with /n between the
% rows.
