Syntax

show(msg)
show(msg,maxlength)
str = show(___)

Description

example

show(msg) displays the whole message in the Command Window, including the Header and Body properties. If Body contains binary data that cannot be converted to characters, then the method displays a message indicating the length of the data in bytes.

Use this syntax for diagnostics or debugging.

example

show(msg,maxlength) displays the first maxlength characters of Body. If Body is longer than maxlength characters, then the method displays the total length of the data.

str = show(___) returns a string containing the information to be displayed, and can include any of the input arguments in previous syntaxes.
