Print Latex/Greek-Chars to Commandline

Is it possible to fprintf a string to commandline which includes latex characters (I know its possible on figures etc).
The below snippet doesn't work but maybe there's a clever workaround?
a = 45; fprintf(['\lambda=',num2str(a)])
Daniel below mentions a possible HTML to LaTeX workaround - does anyone have a solution in this vain?

Hi, sorry i'm a kinda late :). However i was looking for an answer to the same question and (since Matlab supports HTML code) i tried typing the following lines:
charlambda=char(955); %HTML numeric entity for lambda
a=45;
lambda_string=[num2str(charlambda),' = ', num2str(a),'\n'];sprintf(lambda_string)

Yes and no. The commandline does not have a LaTeX interpreter so so you cannot pass it LaTeX code. The commandline does handle HTML so if you can go from LaTeX to HTML you can get there. For your case the workaround is simplier:
a = 45; fprintf(['λ=',num2str(a), '\n'])

This code only works for command line but not from m file if you use it in m file you have to use
a = 45; fprintf([num2str(char(955)),' = ',num2str(a), '\n'])
