How do you read multi-line input from clipboard at once?
I tried using input but line change appears treated as Enter pressing.
>> x=input(char.empty,'s');
2020
2037
2054
2131
ans =
2037
ans =
2054
ans =
2131
>> x
x =
'2020'
atm, I read from clipboard as a workaround. But it'd be nice to be able to copy-paste multi-line input to Matlab's environment and process that.
You can call the input function for each input line, in a loop. Since the number of lines may not be known in advance, you can use a predefined string to mark end of input:
x = {};
end_of_input = 'q';
done = false;
while ~done
x{end+1} = input(char.empty,'s');
done = strcmp(x{end}, end_of_input);
end
x(end) = [];
If you then need to convert non-empty lines to numbers:
x = str2double(x(~cellfun(@isempty, x)));
