I can't put two lines in one legend on matlab in my plot

I have a long string.

I tried to do

string1 = "xyz";
string2 = "abc";
string3 = num2str(value); //value is something I have in my script. Just using this as a placeholder.
string3 = [string3, " ", string1, string2 ];

But it doesn't print in 2 lines if I do

sprintf(string3\nstring2)

Can someone help?

None of the above will work, the double quote is an illegal string delimiter in Matlab; it's a single quote (') instead.

The newline character is only recognized in formatting string expressions...

sprintf('%s\n%s',string3,string2)

 string1 = 'xyz';
 string2 = 'abc';
 value=3.14;
 sprintf('%.2f %s %s \n %s',value,string1,string2,string2)
