<h1><a class="anchor" id="Usage"></a>
Usage</h1>
<p>The <code>char</code> function can be used to convert an array into a string. It has several forms. The first form is </p>
<pre class="fragment">   y = char(x)
</pre><p> where <code>x</code> is a numeric array containing character codes. FreeMat does not currently support Unicode, so the character codes must be in the range of <code>[0,255]</code>. The output is a string of the same size as <code>x</code>. A second form is </p>
<pre class="fragment">   y = char(c)
</pre><p> where <code>c</code> is a cell array of strings, creates a matrix string where each row contains a string from the corresponding cell array. The third form is </p>
<pre class="fragment">   y = char(s1, s2, s3, ...)
</pre><p> where <code>si</code> are a character arrays. The result is a matrix string where each row contains a string from the corresponding argument. </p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="Example"></a>
Example</h1>
<p>Here is an example of the first technique being used to generate a string containing some ASCII characters</p>
<pre class="fragment">--&gt; char([32:64;65:97])

ans = 
 !"#$%&amp;'()*+,-./0123456789:;&lt;=&gt;?@
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`a
</pre><p>In the next example, we form a character array from a set of strings in a cell array. Note that the character array is padded with spaces to make the rows all have the same length.</p>
<pre class="fragment">--&gt; char({'hello','to','the','world'})

ans = 
hello
to   
the  
world
</pre><p>In the last example, we pass the individual strings as explicit arguments to <code>char</code></p>
<pre class="fragment">--&gt; char('hello','to','the','world')

ans = 
hello
to   
the  
world
</pre> </div></div><!-- contents -->
