How can I extract an alphabet from a string? For example,
I have a string

StrVar = 'abcde'

How can I extract the 2nd alphabet (which is 'b') from the
string? I remember that I was able to do it with
QuickBasic sometime ago but cannot find the comparable
command in Matlab.

Thanks.

John

StrVar == char(98)

or

StrVar == 'b'
