Thank you Azzi,
it solves my requirement
In case you have an example like this:
s = 'x.h 5.67 y 7.789 g4 j.23'
out=str2double(regexp(s,'\d+(\.\d+)?|\.\d+','match'))
How do you alter this to return the characters only in the string?
i.e. x.h y g j
For string s, I appreciate if someone could help how to get only the chracters? Thanks!
