Multiple lines in a string

I am trying to obtain multiple lines in a string. The first part is the following:
name = 'Alice'; age = 12; str = fprintf('%s will be %d this year.\n', name, age);
Alice will be 12 this year.
I want the end result to obtain the this:
Alice will be 12 this year.
John will be 13 this year.
Granted I could just repeat the intial command but that could take long with multiple entries... Im looking for a command that can fit one line. Thanks

Your problem was that you used fprintf() instead of sprintf() so what got stored in str was not what you thought it should be. fprintf() returns the number of bytes written out, not the string, while sprintf() returns the "str" string that you said you want.
