How do I capture the output from "display"

Hello, I've got a fairly complicated structure containing multiple fields of various types and substructures also.
I want to print a "summary" of the structure out and would like to just take the output from the "display" function. However, it appears that there is no way to capture this other than a copy and paste (done manually). Does anybody know I capture the output from the display function so that I can write it to an ascii file?
Thanks!

Hi Eric,
If there is no native support to capture display, you can try diary function. Something like this:
diary FILENAME
display()
diary off
Your FILENAME will contain the session history.

It can be done using evalc, though I wouldn't recommend it:
x = evalc('disp(''hello world'')');
I would recommend generating a string with sprintf and perhaps fieldnames?
