Can anyone suggest how to change the display allignment in command prompt for seeing list of equations

These symbolic equations are right alligned, can we change to left allignment

[dpb]

Don't have symbolic TB so can't play but what does

whos eqn

return?

If it were an array of char() it would be single-quoted; if were cellstr() array would be in curlies {}, a string() array would be in double quotes ""

Looks to me like eqn must be a symbolic object in which the result is stored and displayed by an internal fprintf as one long string with embedded \n.

If that is so, it'll be hard to do much with other than to cast it into another form.

Thank you for your reply,

Its the result of my program on symbolic variables. 'eqn' stores list of equations. when I want to see in command window, typing 'eqn' displays with right allignment. So I need to scroll command window to right side everytime. This was bit annoying

What happens if you try to cast eqn to string() or cellstr()? If can do that, then you can display the text however you wanted.

syms x
eq(1,1) = expand((x-1)^2);
eq(2,1) = expand((x-1)^10);
eq

eq = 

char(eq)

ans = '[x^2 - 2*x + 1; 45*x^2 - 10*x - 120*x^3 + 210*x^4 - 252*x^5 + 210*x^6 - 120*x^7 + 45*x^8 - 10*x^9 + x^10 + 1]'
