Re: array of strings?

[Nicholas Jankowski]

well, not sure what the saving issue is, but type: sq_string is a
Singly quoted string.  I.e.,
'this is a singly quoted string'
"this is a doubly quoted string"
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Character-Strings-in-Oct_002dFiles.html

I believe the primary difference (there may be others) is how escape
characters are interpreted between the two. In a dq string, \n is
interpreted as a newline character. in a sq string \n is interpreted
as \n.

It appears that doing a char(uint8()) operation defaults to a sq
string, I assume to prevent odd/unintentional escape sequences from
occurring.

What is the save command you are using? specifically what way are you
specifying it to save as an mxArray?  Straight 'saves' of the data
work in all of the formats supported by 'save', but I'm not overly
familiar with saving out as mxArrays. a quick google shows that
character strings in mex files do not differentiate between single and
double quoted arrays. as such, maybe there's an issues with handling a
sq_string type?
