fscanf in Simulink

I receive some strings in UDP. I can see them using fscanf. But I would like to have them in Simulink environment. I tried "UDP Receive" block, but it seems that it's different from fscanf. Is there any way that I can monitor the strings, received via UDP, in Simulink?

Simulink doesn't support string data type. See http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/simulink/ug/f14-90479.html#f14-90488

You may be able to view the data. Check to see if they are the ASCII value of the corresponding characters.
