Use the 'mxArrayToUTF8String' function. It handles multiple rows the same way as 'mxArrayToString'.

CAUTION: If mxArrayToUTF8String behaves the same way as mxArrayToString as I suspect, then the memory behind this allocation is NOT on the garbage collection list. So you as the programmer must manually free it or you will have a permanent memory leak.
