Find possible matches for string
Syntax
Description
x = strmatch('str', STRS)
looks through the rows of the character array or cell array of strings STRS
to find strings that begin with string str
, returning the matching row indices. strmatch
is fastest when STRS
is a character array.
x = strmatch('str', STRS, 'exact')
returns only the indices of the strings in STRS
matching str
exactly.
Examples
returns x = [1; 3]
since rows 1 and 3 begin with 'max'
. The statement
returns x = 1
, since only row 1 matches 'max'
exactly.
