In Matlab R13 I'm trying to do the following :
text = sscanf('<A>blabla</A>','<A>%s</A>')

which results in :
text = blabla</A>

Obviously I wanted :
text = blabla

Any ideas on how to do this ? Is regexp a way out ?

Hello,

Yes regexprep in R13 may be the way to go:

>> text = regexprep('<A>blabla</A>', '<A>(\w*)</A>', '$1', 'tokenize')

text =

blabla

You may need to tweak the token.
