strfind.m

Cell array implementation of STRFIND

Description

K = STRFIND(STRS,STR) looks through the rows of the cell array of strings STRS to find strings that contain the string STR, returning the matching row indices.

Functions very much like STRMATCH with a cell array input, except STRMATCH is limited to whenever the cell array string begins with STR.

Unlike STRMATCH, it does not work with a char array input. I think this is a limitation of the Matlab function STRFIND.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.1 (R12.1)
• Other requirements: File needs to be located in the STRFUN\@CELL directory within Matlab.

This is a builtin function in MATLAB 7.1 (R14sp3)
