Working With Regular Expressions In MATLAB Strings
Regular expression, specified as a character vector, a cell array of character vectors, or a string array. Each expression can contain characters, metacharacters, operators, tokens, and flags. See regular expressions, in the matlab documentation, for a listing of all regular expression metacharacters supported by matlab. Regexprep does not support international character sets. Also, you need to escape the dot (otherwise, it's considered any character).
Parentheses used in a regular expression not only group elements of that expression together, but also designate any matches found for that. This anchors regular expression matches to the beginning or end of lines in the text. This option is useful when you have multiline text and do not want matches to span multiple lines. Oct 18, 2012 · with regular expressions, you can match or alter parts (substrings) of a text string that match the described pattern. Regular expressions are found in text editors and in a range. Startindex = regexp(str,expression) returns the starting index of each substring of str that matches the character patterns specified by the regular expression. If there are no matches, startindex.
