plotting title with multiple strings on one line

hi guys,

i've been searhing through the community responses and google and can't find an answer so i'll ask the question here.

i have two strings that i'd like to plot both of them on the plot title in one line. i've tried using stringEASY=strcat("a ","b") then title(stringEASY) and that works, but that's not what i have, here's what i have:

str_cell_array1 = str_cell_array(1,1) in the command window looks like a 1X1 cell array {["abc\_def.h5"]}

str_cell_array2 = str_cell_array(1,2) in the command window looks like a 1X1 cell array {["ghi\_jkl.h5"]}

if i use title("abc\_def.h5","ghi\_jkl.h5") i of course get a plot but the "ghi\_jkl.h5" is a subtitle which i don't want

so i've tried to cat the two together as

string=strcat(str_cell_array1,str_cell_array2)

which in the command window looks like string = {["abc\_def.h5" "ghi\_jkl.h5"]}

and then title(string) but that doesn't work

i've also tried string=strcat({'str_cell_array1'},{'str_cell_array2'})

and then title(string) but that also doesn't work

any hints?

str_cell_array = {"abc\_def.h5" "ghi\_jkl.h5"};

str_title = strjoin(string(str_cell_array)," and ")

str_title = "abc\_def.h5 and ghi\_jkl.h5"

title(str_title);

figure
str_cell_array = {"abc\_def.h5" "ghi\_jkl.h5" "mno\_pqr.h5"};

str_title = strjoin(string(str_cell_array),", ")

str_title = "abc\_def.h5, ghi\_jkl.h5, mno\_pqr.h5"

title(str_title);

this works for me

title("abc\_def.h5" + " and " + "ghi\_jkl.h5");

a concatenated string in one line
