xpcdarray2str - Private function for displaying double arrays as strings
string Convert to string array
STR = string creates a string. STR is a 1-by-1 string that contains no
characters.

STR = string(CHR) converts character vector CHR to string array STR.

If CHR is a 1-by-N character vector then string returns STR as a 1-by-1
string that contains N characters.

STR = string(C) converts cell array C to a string array. Each element

of C must contain a value that can be converted to a string scalar. STR
is the same size as C.

STR = string(X) converts the numeric matrix X into a string

representation STR. STR is the same size as X.

STR = string(TF) converts the logical matrix TF into a string

representation STR where each element of STR contains either "true" or
"false". STR is the same size as TF.

MATLAB displays string values with double quotes (for example, "ABC"),
and character arrays with single quotes (for example, 'ABC'), to
distinguish the two different data types.

string methods and functions:

string inspection:
contains - True if pattern is found in string
count - Number of occurrences of a pattern
endsWith - True if string ends with pattern
ismissing - True for <missing> string elements
isstring - True for string array
startsWith - True if string starts with pattern
strlength - Lengths of string elements
 string manipulation:
compose - Converts data into formatted string arrays
erase - Remove substring from string elements
eraseBetween - Remove bounded substrings
extractAfter - Extract substring after a specified position
extractBefore - Extract substring before a specified position
extractBetween - Extract bounded substrings
insertAfter - Insert substring after a specified position
insertBefore - Insert substring before a specified position
join - Append elements of a string array together
lower - Convert string to lowercase
pad - Insert leading or trailing spaces
plus - Append string arrays
replace - Find and replace substring
replaceBetween - Replace bounded substrings
reverse - Reverse the order of characters
split - Split string at delimiter
splitlines - Split string at newlines
strings - Create string array of empty string elements
strip - Remove leading and trailing whitespaces
upper - Convert string to uppercase
string conversion:
cellstr - Convert to a cell array of character vectors
char - Convert to a character array
double - Convert to a double array
string operators:
+ - Append string arrays
==, ~= - Equal and not equal for string arrays
<, <=, >, >= - Comparison for string arrays
{} - Index character vector contents of string element

string compatible functions:

deblank - Remove trailing whitespaces
 regexp - Match regular expression
regexprep - Replace string using regular expression
regexptranslate - Regular expression related string transformations
sprintf - Write formatted data to string
strcat - Concatenate text
strcmp - Compare strings
strncmp - Compare first N characters
strfind - Find one string within another
strjoin - Append elements of a string array together
strsplit - Split string at delimiter
strtrim - Remove whitespace

Example:
CHR = 'Four score and seven years ago';
string(CHR)

returns

"Four score and seven years ago"

Example:
C = {'Four score and seven equals';87};
string(C)

returns

"Four score and seven equals"

"87"

Example:
STR = ["Mercury","Gemini"];
STR(2,1) = 'Apollo'
 returns

"Mercury" "Gemini"
"Apollo" <missing>

Example:
STR = ["Mercury","Gemini","Apollo"];
STR == 'Apollo'

returns

0 0 1

Other functions named string

help varargin

varargin Variable length input argument list.

Allows any number of arguments to a function. The variable
varargin is a cell array containing the optional arguments to the
function. varargin must be declared as the last input argument
and collects all the inputs from that point onwards. In the
declaration, varargin must be lowercase (i.e., varargin).

For example, the function,

function myplot(x,varargin)
plot(x,varargin{:})

collects all the inputs starting with the second input into the
variable "varargin". MYPLOT uses the comma-separated list syntax
varargin{:} to pass the optional parameters to plot. The call,

myplot(sin(0:.1:1),'color',[.5 .7 .3],'linestyle',':')

results in varargin being a 1-by-4 cell array containing the

values 'color', [.5 .7 .3], 'linestyle', and ':'.

See also varargout, nargin, nargout, inputname, function, lists, paren.
