STRREP, but uses the input and output format of REGEXPREP

STRREPLIKEREGEXPREP Replace string with another.
This function uses STRREP, but uses the input and output format of REGEXPREP so it can be easily substituted.

S = STRREPLIKEREGEXPREP(STRING,SEARCH,REPLACE) replaces all occurrences of the the search string, SEARCH, in string, STRING, with the string,% REPLACE. The new string is returned. If no matches are found STRREPLIKEREGEXPREP returns STRING unchanged.

If STRING is a cell array of strings, STRREPLIKEREGEXPREP returns a cell array of strings replacing each element of STRING individually.

If SEARCH is a cell array of strings, STRREPLIKEREGEXPREP replaces each element of SEARCH sequentially.

If REPLACE is a cell array of strings, then SEARCH must be a cell array of strings with the same number of elements. STRREPLIKEREGEXPREP will replace each element of SEARCH sequentially with the corresponding element of REPLACE.

Example:
InputStr = {'we the people,','in oder to form','a more perfct'}
SearchStr = {'we','oder','perfct'};
ReplaceStr = {'We','order','perfect'};
StrrepLikeRegexprep(InputStr, SearchStr, ReplaceStr)
returns {'We the people,','in order to form','a more perfect'}
