I don't think you can with "disp"; or at least I don't see how to check it. An alternative would be to use sprintf:
A = sprintf('hello');
B = sprintf('hello '); % added 2 space characters at the end
whos
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
A 1x5 10 char
B 1x7 14 char
So B does contain 2 more characters than A, i.e. the spaces at the end. Is that what you meant? If not please add details.

I was having the same issue with this answering a homework question. I was inputting a first and a last name, using disp() as my output. f=input(first name) l=input(last name) disp(['Your name is: ',f,' ',l]). The key is putting the ' ' in between the f and l inputs for the array.

That puts a space between the strings on the same line. What the poster has now is when "my output shows up, the EDU>> is the very next line" and what the poster said he wants is "I just wanted there to be a couple of blank spaces" between the string and the EDU>> prompt.
In other words, if the string was 'Hello World' and the program was
str = 'Hello World';
disp(str)
instead of the normal
Hello World
EDU>>
tri (the poster) wants to see this:
Hello World
EDU>>
where there are two blank lines after the display of the string value and the next command line prompt.
