Details:

this works fine:

>> num2str([1;2], '%f')
ans =
1.000000
2.000000

arbitrary text in the formatis also fine:

>> num2str([1;2], '%fsometext')
ans =
1.000000sometext
2.000000sometext

but a literal percent sign causes newline to be removed when a column vector
is input:

>> num2str([1;2], '%f%%')
ans = 1.000000%2.000000%

in matlab, this is:

>> num2str([1;2], '%f%%')
ans =
  2×9 char array
    '1.000000%'
    '2.000000%'
