I am currently using this code

    dset = single(1);
    dset_details.Location = '/metaData';
    dset_details.Name = 'stringTest';
    attr = 'char';
    attr_details.Name = 'Pathtest';
    attr_details.AttachedTo = '/metaData/stringTest';
    attr_details.AttachType = 'dataset';
    hdf5write('C:\withstrings.h5', dset_details, dset  ...
             , attr_details, attr, 'WriteMode', 'append' );

_____________________________________________________________________

But the problem is that I dont want numeric data but i want to as an example: 'C:\path' into the value.

What kind of datatype do i have to use? Because i have a program that automaticaly gives in the pathname. But when it saves into the h5 file it automatically gives the ASCII code from the path into the data but I don't want it to be ASCII Code i just want the full pathname to be in it as a string value.

No matter what type i use, a single, a double, it always converts into ASCII code, how can i save it to be just a string, just the pathname like: 'c:\path'

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.
