In order to concatenate strings, in GNU Octave, use this snippet:
% Concatenate and assign to a variable named "concatenated" concatenated = strcat("test", "123"); % OPTIONAL: Show the value of the "concatenated" variable in the terminal disp(concatenated); % Displays "test123" (without quotes) in the terminal
Similarly, you can concatenate three or more strings:
strcat("test", "123", "456"); # test123456
You don’t have to use literal strings, you can also use variables instead:
mystr = "xyz"; strcat("test", mystr, "456"); # testxyz456
Alternatively you can use this short syntax (no commata between the strings!):
concatenated = ["test" "123"] % Show the value disp(concatenated);
