Description

str = GetCharArray(h,'varname','workspace') gets the character array stored in varname from the specified workspace of the server attached to handle h and returns it in str. The values for workspace are base or global.

Examples

This example uses a Visual Basic^® .NET client.

1. Create the Visual Basic application. Use the MsgBox command to control flow between MATLAB^® and the application.

   Dim Matlab As Object
   Dim S As String
   Matlab = CreateObject("matlab.application")
   MsgBox("In MATLAB, type" & vbCrLf _
       & "str='new text';")

2. Open the MATLAB window, then type:

   str='new text';

3. Click Ok.

   Try
       S = Matlab.GetCharArray("str", "base")
       MsgBox("str = " & S)
   Catch ex As Exception
       MsgBox("You did not set 'str' in MATLAB")
   End Try

   The Visual Basic MsgBox displays what you typed in MATLAB.
