more than one input in sprintf

Hye, I would like to put two argument in sprintf.

I tried:

sprintf('mu=%s ,nu/omega=%s',mu1,q)

but it doesn't work, only the first one is assigned.

The problem seams to be in this then:

FigH = figure;

set(FigH, 'NumberTitle', 'off','Name', sprintf('mu=%s ,nu/omega=%s',mu1,q));

That also works fine for me.

what does:

class(mu1)

class(q)

return?

[Liber-T]

double, for both.

[Sean de Wolski]

that is your issue - they're doubles not strings. So you should be using %f or %g in your sprintf statement instead of %s which indicates class char. See both Walter's and my suggestions below.

Answer 1

[Sean de Wolski]

Works for me...

mu1 = 'hello world'
q = '78'
sprintf('mu=%s ,nu/omega=%s',mu1,q)

Remember you're calling it as a string so mu1 and q both have to be strings

Use %f or %g etc. for numbers that are not strings or convert the numbers to string using num2str

doc sprintf

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

That should work fine, provided that mu1 and q are both strings already.

Perhaps you want

sprintf('mu=%g, nu/omega=%g\n', mu1, q)
