strings

Description

Strings are defined as 'string' (between quotes) or "string" (between doublequotes); matrices of strings are defined as usual constant matrices.

Strings can have a single or several characters. Multi-line strings are usually defined as a column vector of lines.

Concatenation of two strings is made by a +: string1 + string2.

Examples

['this','is'; 'a 2x2','matrix']
"matrix"=="mat"+"rix"

length("hello") // returns 5
part("hello", 2) // returns "e"
part("hello", 1:4) // returns "hell"
strcat(["hello", " ", "world"]) // returns "hello world"

mgetl("SCI/README.md") // reads a text file line by line
