Why does Matlab create weird Java Strings?

Hi

I am working on a program which is a Matlab script and I have incorporated a Java program into it. I have created a Vector of Strings in matlab and am trying to use it in the formentioned Java program.

I have used:

vector = java.util.Vector

vector.add('a string')

JavaClass(vector) # constructor

The string that appears in my java program is of type Ljava/lang/String. As I've understood it, this a String is represented in an Array. Is this true? And if so, how do I get a pure java.lang.String into my java program? Or can I go around this problem and change the definition of my input parameter in the constructor?

Hello Michael,

Can you elaborate on your question? If you are trying to convert a Java string into a MATLAB character array you can do the same by referring the section 'Converting to the MATLAB char Type' in the following documentation link:

Handling Data Returned from a Java Method

Thanks for answering but the fault didn't lie in Matlab to begin with. I found the origin of the problem so my question wasn't an issue.
