symbolic - Telling mathematica to output * instead of space for multiplication, so I can copy as plain text
I am trying to get some symbolic expressions in Mathematica which I would like to paste into my C/MATLAB codes. This can be accomplished nicely by selecting the expression and right-clicking to select Copy as plain-text
.
However there is one small issue I have.
Consider the simplest possible case for 2 symbols a
and b
In[1]:= c = a*b
Out[1]= a b
How can I tell Mathematica to produce all its output as a*b
and not a b
Without this, I have to go through the pain of replacing manually all spaces in my C/MATLAB codes with the *
espcecially for long expressions.
Answer
The *
multiplication operator is rendered in InputForm
:
c = a b;
c // InputForm
a*b
For producing/exporting strings:
ExportString[c, "Text"]
ToString[c, InputForm]
"a*b"
"a*b"
