MATLAB - String preview truncated at 128 characters

8 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to copy some MATLAB cell's content (words) but the content of each cell exceeds 128 characters and the message "<Preview truncated at 128 characters>" appears at the end of each cell.
When I copy each cell separately all the content is copied without the truncation message, but when I copy them all together the problem persists. Copying each cell individually is not an options, since I have to copy millions of cells.
Is there any away of preventing MATLAB from doing this truncation?
Thank you

How are you copying it?
I would recommend using a function to automate writing it. Probably fopen/fprintf/fclose, or one of many from the file exchange
If you just want the text displayed, you can use celldisp
celldisp({repmat('Q',1,400)})

I had to use a xlswrite to copy it to Excel but it worked, thanks ;)
