MATLAB line continuation within string

Question

In MATLAB, ... is used to continue a line to the next line. But if I want to continue a long string within quotation, what can I do? ... will be tr

Answer 1

answer=['You can divide strings '...
    ,'by adding a comma '... 
    ,'(as you probably know one year later).'];

Answer 2

If you put the string in brackets, you can build it in several pieces:

s = ['abc' 'def' ... 
     'ghi'];

You can then split that statement into several lines between the strings.

Answer 3

You can use strcat or horzcat, which gives you somewhat more options than [], including the ability to mix in variables along with the hardcoded values.
