How to hide 'ans= ' in sprintf output?

I want to hide the 'ans=' line before output which appear automatically every time before output.

Assign it to something.

str = sprintf('The result = %s', result)

It will say str=whatever instead of ans = whatever. If you don't even want that then put a semicolon at the end of the line.

str = sprintf('The result = %s', result);

Now nothing at all will show up in the command window. If you don't want to assign it to a variable but just want some string to be printed to the command window without ans= in front of it then use fprintf() instead of sprintf():

fprintf('The result = %s\n', result);

Terminate the line with a semicolon:

sprintf('The array is %dx%d.',2,3);

When I do that all I get is the file name as an output >> fileName

@Joshua McDonald, I think you replied to the wrong post. Your reply has nothing to do with @Tazuddin's Question or @Henrik's Answer.
