strrep

String search and replace

Syntax

• str = strrep(str1,str2,str3)
  

Description

str = strrep(str1,str2,str3) replaces all occurrences of the string str2 within string str1 with the string str3.

strrep(str1,str2,str3), when any of str1, str2, or str3 is a cell array of strings, returns a cell array the same size as str1, str2 and str3 obtained by performing a strrep using corresponding elements of the inputs. The inputs must all be the same size (or any can be a scalar cell). Any one of the strings can also be a character array with the right number of rows.

Examples

• s1 = 'This is a good example.';
  str = strrep(s1,'good','great')
  str =
  This is a great example.
  A = 
      'MATLAB'              'SIMULINK'     
      'Toolboxes'           'The MathWorks'
  B = 
      'Handle Graphics'    'Real Time Workshop'
      'Toolboxes'          'The MathWorks'     
  C = 
      'Signal Processing'    'Image Processing'
      'MATLAB'               'SIMULINK'        
  strrep(A,B,C)
  ans = 
      'MATLAB'     'SIMULINK'
      'MATLAB'     'SIMULINK'
