Say that, on a MATLAB interactive session, I call a function from a third party library output = long_execution(input). This function prints information via disp statements to the command window. I would like to capture the output of such disp statements on a text string that I can manipulate in MATLAB.
Is there a (hopefully easy) way of redirecting the output of disp to a text string? If so, how would you do it? (maybe via the overlading of disp?)
