Display long statements on multiple lines in output

Hello All,

I want to include some texts in the description of a structure. But it#s too long to be displayed in a single line. I want that to be displayed in 2 or 3 lines.

Any suggestions on how to do it?

Thanks

One way to go. Insert newline in your string, and display using fprintf:

yourString = 'One line \n Two line \n Three line';
fprintf(your_String);

Hello Jose, I want to include text in my structure. While storing the text, I want that they should be displayed in 2 lines rather than single line because it's too long. For e.g.,

data.description ='I want to display in two lines';

The structure should show output as

I want to

display in two lines

I hope you got it.

Thanks

This will display it as three lines in the command window.

data.description = ['One line ' char(10) 'Two Line' char(10) 'Three Line']

If you want it in three lines in the variable editor:

data.description{1} = 'One Line';
data.description{2} = 'Two Line';
data.description{3} = 'Three Line';

Doing this in 2018, on version 2018a, Matlab is suggesting that I switch "char(10)" with just "newline" (outside of the single quotes). Works well.

But I prefer the compose function: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/compose.html
