repfloat

Replaces a number in a string, while preserving the string length.

You are now following this Submission

A CSSM participant wanted to replace the numbers in a cellstring with another set of numbers, but he wanted the length of the cellstring to remain the same.

My solution to a CSSM question used RegExpRep and I thought it might be helpful to post it here so that the formatting is preserved and it's easy to read and use.

It was written for use with MATLAB version 6.5 through 7.0. The 'tokenize' parameter is included for the versions of MATLAB where "tokenize" is not the default behaviour. It will produce warnings in other versions.
