the following examples may help
x = strmatch('max', char('max', 'minimax', 'maximum'))
returns
x = [1; 3] since rows 1 and 3 begin with 'max'. The statement
while
x = strmatch('max', char('max', 'minimax', 'maximum'),'exact')
returns
x = 1, since only row 1 matches 'max' exactly.
if you find these lines useful would you please mark my answer as Accepted Answer?
