integer*4 function mxCreateString(str) character*(*) strA

Use mxCreateString to create a character mxArray initialized to str. Many MATLAB functions (for example, strcmp and upper) require character mxArray inputs.
Free the character mxArray when you are finished using it. To free a character mxArray, call mxFreeMatrix.
