How to assign console output to a string in matlab?

Question

In matlab, evaluating a variable without a semicolon causes it to be printed on the console output. disp is similar but does not include the variable name. Is there a way to get either console output as a string?

e.g.

>> x = [-1; 2];
>> x

x =

    -1
     2

Is there a way to get this output assigned to a variable in a string, i.e. in this example the string "x = \n\n -1\n 2\n"

@MadPhysicist Good point, I cannot think of any good reason that you want to do this. — Bernhard

x=[1;2]
s=evalc('x')

Then s='\nx =\n\n 0\n 1'
