How to load all the text into the variable

2 views (last 30 days)
Hello. I have a problem. I write small program to encrypt/decrypt. When I enter text into a variable (from keyboard) I can't make paragraphs, because in this case only the first paragraph is saved in the variable. Any ideas?
prompt = 'Please input your text ';
plaintext1 = input(prompt,'s');

If you want to read several paragraphs, then reading from a file might be a better option: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2020a/matlab/ref/fileread.html
However, If you still want to interactively ask the user for input, the uitextarea: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2020a/matlab/ref/uitextarea.html is a better choice for a multiple paragraph text.
