mtlb_num2str

Matlab num2str emulation function

Description

Matlab num2str and Scilab equivalents (string, msprintf) behave differently in some particular cases:

  • With two input parameters, the second giving precision: There is no Scilab equivalent function, but msprintf can be used to emulate.

  • With two input parameters, the second giving format: Scilab equivalent for Matlab num2string(a,format) is msprintf(format,a).

The function mtlb_num2str(x,f) is used by mfile2sci to replace num2str(x,f) when it was not possible to know what were the inputs while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_num2str calls:

  • If f is a character string mtlb_num2str(x,f) may be replaced by msprintf(f,x)

Caution: mtlb_num2str has not to be used for hand coded functions.
