Complex Number Conversion to character form

Notable Behavior of Conversions with Formatting Operators:
- Numeric conversions print only the real component of complex numbers.
- If you specify a conversion that does not fit the data, such as a character conversion for a numeric value, MATLAB® overrides the specified conversion, and uses %e.
Is there any way by which I can print real part as well as imaginary part of a complex number in string form?
Can I fit a large scale data in character conversion?
I am implementing an algorithm to encrypt text using complex number and after encrypting just want to convert that encrypted data (complex number) into character form. Because of number format limitation, I am unable to convert it. Please help me to solve this problem...

What is large scale data?
I don't see the problem in printing / converting complex numbers:
n = pi + 1i*log(2);
s = sprintf('%g + %gi', real(n), imag(n)) %or whichever format you want
And if n is an array:
s = arrayfun(@(x) sprintf('%g + %gi', real(x), imag(x)), n, 'UniformOutput', false)

Based on your previous questions, you're going to try to convert a symbolic complex number into a char array. Is that correct? If so use the char function on your symbolic expression, possibly in conjunction with the vpa function.

Yes. You are asking to process an array of values, not a single value, and you have not said anything about how you want to code the array markers. For example do you want the items written out using '[' and ']' and ';' between rows and ',' between items? What do you want done if the matrix has more than 2 dimensions?
I would caution you that if you are wanting the quotes removed then chances are that you are trying to create you intend to execute, which would be a mistake because without the quotes the value is going to be converted as a plain double precision number.
