MATLAB: contains (look for a string within strings)
This short covers the MATLAB built-in function STRCMP() used for comparing strings.
CONTAINS() is a function that you can use to locate a string within strings. It results in a logical 1 (TRUE) or 0 (FALSE). STRFIND() results in the location of the strings rather than a logical true or false.
STRFIND() is a similar function that you can use to locate a string within strings, check out this video on it: • MATLAB: strfind (look for a string within ...
For a more detailed discussion around the strfind and contains functions, check out this video: • MATLAB: String Functions - contains/strfin...
STRCMP() is a similar function that compares the whole string and is case sensitive, check out this video on it: • MATLAB: strcmp (compare strings)
STRCMPI() is a string function that is not case sensitive, check out this video on it: • MATLAB: strcmpi (compare strings)
STRNCMP() is a string function that you can specify how much of the strings you want to compare, check out this video on it: • MATLAB: strncmp (compare part of strings)
STRNCMPI() is a string function that is not case sensitive and you can specify how much of the strings you want to compare, check out this video on it: • MATLAB: strncmpi (compare part of strings)
