How to have a new line inside a string ?

set(handles.parameterW,'string',{['stiffness = ',num2str(A),' Nm/deg,',' Damping = ',num2str(B),' Nm/(rad/s)']});

Current output:

stiffness = 1 Nm/deg, Damping = 0 Nm/(rad/s)

Output i required:

stiffness = 1 Nm/deg,

Damping = 0 Nm/(rad/s)

You can simply use the fprintf function i suppose:

fprintf('Stiffness = %d Nm/deg,  \nDamping = %d Nm/(rad/s) \n', A, B)

Gives the desired output as you asked.

Thanks for your response.

The solution you have provided is working fine.

But, i don't know, how to use inside set(handles.parameterW.....)

Change FPRINTF to SPRINTF

Answer 1

[Girijashankar Sahoo]

set(handles.parameterW,'string',{['stiffness = ',num2str(A)+newline+' Nm/deg,',' Damping = ',num2str(B),'

or

set(handles.parameterW,'string',{['stiffness = ',num2str(A),\n' Nm/deg,',' Damping = ',num2str(B),'

Hi Vinothkumar,

It is my understanding that you want to insert a newline in a string. The example code is given below:

set(handles.parameterW,'string',{['stiffness = ',num2str(A),' Nm/deg,', newline,' Damping = ',num2str(B),' Nm/(rad/s)']});

Hope this helps.

[Vinothkumar Sethurasu]

Yes.

I got it.

Thank you so much.
