Find the occurrences of a substring in a character vector. Force strfind to return the indices of those occurrences in a cell array. Then display the indices. Create a character vector and find the occurrences of the pattern ain.

newStr = extract(str,pat) returns any substrings in str that match the pattern specified by pat. If str is a string array or a cell array of character vectors, then the function extracts substrings from each element of str. If pat is an array, then the function matches against multiple patterns. Create a string array that contains addresses.

Jun 16, 2017 · You can use the "contains" function to determine whether a string contains a given substring or not. Specifically, "contains" function returns true if the first argument contains the second argument and false otherwise. For example: If you only want to detect a substring at the end of the larger string, use endsWith instead of contains.

Jun 30, 2014 · We find the starting position of each string match using: >> pos = strfind(array, str) pos = [6] [1] [] or >> pos = regexp(array, str) pos = [6] [1] [] We can then find the indices of matching strings using: >> matches = find(~cellfun(@isempty,pos)) matches = 1 2

May 21, 2015 · As Anders pointed out, you want to use strfind to look for strings inside other strings. Here is a way you could write your function. Basically apply strfind on the whole txt cell array, and then remove entries in which there was a match. Code: str = 'hello'; txt = {'hellothere' 'matlab' 'helloyou' 'who are you' 'hello world'};

k = strfind(str,substr) searches the string str for occurrences of the substring substr. The operator returns a vector that contains the starting index of each occurrence of substr in str. The search is case-sensitive. Use this operator in the Requirements Table block.

Mar 11, 2025 · Learn how to find strings in MATLAB using the strfind() function. This article provides practical examples, detailed explanations, and insights into string manipulation, helping you effectively search for substrings within larger strings.

May 27, 2015 · Not to detract from the OP's answer, which actually more directly adresses the question you ask, but assuming all you want to do is extract a certain number of characters from a string, MATLAB's indexing is all you need: myString = 'Hello, world!'; mySubstring = myString(3:end) mySubstring = llo, world!

newStr = extractBetween(str,startPat,endPat) extracts the substring from str that occurs between the substrings startPat and endPat. The extracted substring does not include startPat and endPat. newStr is a string array if str is a string array.

Oct 14, 2013 · This method works great if the idea is to find a substring, i.e. in the case where we are looking for all possible matches. It doesn’t work too well, however, if we’re looking for a specific match.
