Create a string array from one or more numeric matrices, character
matrices, or cell arrays.
 
Arguments are concatenated vertically.  The returned values are padded with
blanks as needed to make each row of the string array have the same length.
Empty input strings are significant and will concatenated in the output.
 
For numerical input, each element is converted to the corresponding ASCII
character.  A range error results if an input is outside the ASCII range
(0-255).
 
For cell arrays, each element is concatenated separately.  Cell arrays
converted through @code{char} can mostly be converted back with
@code{cellstr}.  For example:
 
@example
@group
char ([97, 98, 99], "", @{"98", "99", 100@}, "str1", ["ha", "lf"])
   @result{} ["abc "

@deftypefn {} {@var{d} =} str2double (@var{str})
Convert a string to a real or complex number.
 
The string must be in one of the following formats where a and b are real
numbers and the complex unit is @qcode{'i'} or @qcode{'j'}:
 
@itemize
@item a + bi
 
@item a + b*i
 
@item a + i*b
 
@item bi + a
 
@item b*i + a
 
@item i*b + a
@end itemize
 
If present, a and/or b are of the form @nospell{[+-]d[,.]d[[eE][+-]d]} where
the brackets indicate optional arguments and @qcode{'d'} indicates zero or
more digits.  The special input values @code{Inf}, @code{NaN}, and @code{NA}
are also accepted.
 
@var{str} may be a character string, character matrix, or cell array.  For
character arrays the conversion is repeated for every row, and a double or
complex array is returned.  Empty rows in @var{s} are deleted and not
returned in the numeric array.  For cell arrays each character string
element is processed and a double or complex array of the same dimensions as
@var{str} is returned.
 
For unconvertible scalar or character string input @code{str2double} returns
a NaN@.  Similarly, for character array input @code{str2double} returns a
NaN for any row of @var{s} that could not be converted.  For a cell array,
@code{str2double} returns a NaN for any element of @var{s} for which
conversion fails.  Note that numeric elements in a mixed string/numeric
cell array are not strings and the conversion will fail for these elements
and return NaN.
 
Programming Note: @code{str2double} can replace @code{str2num}, is more
efficient, and avoids the security risk of using @code{eval} on unknown data.

Return the character corresponding to a newline.
 
This is equivalent to @qcode{"@backslashchar{}n"}.
 
Example Code
 
@example

line1
line2

DEFUN (list_in_columns, args, ,

@deftypefn {} {@var{str} =} list_in_columns (@var{arg}, @var{width}, @var{prefix})
Return a string containing the elements of @var{arg} listed in columns with
an overall maximum width of @var{width} and optional prefix @var{prefix}.
 
The argument @var{arg} must be a cell array of character strings or a
character array.
 
If @var{width} is not specified or is an empty matrix, or less than or equal
to zero, the width of the terminal screen is used.  Newline characters are
used to break the lines in the output string.  For example:
