I found an old bug in my code. I pass by mistake a numerical value to strcmp. Now, I made a little test with R2013a
num = double('A'); is1 = strcmp( num, {'A','B','C'} ); is2 = strcmp( num, {'A','B','C',num} ); is3 = strcmp( num, {'A','B','C',num2str(num)} ); [any(is1),any(is2),any(is3)]
returns
ans = 0 0 0
strcmp accepts the numerical argument, but doesn't find anything. I would have appreciated an error together with a message.
On the other hand, I use a similar behavior of strfind. It takes numerical inputs.
n1 = (65:67); n2 = (61:70); strfind( n2, n1 ) % us' trick
returns
ans = 5
That is an efficient way to search for sub-sequences in row vectors of flints (whole numbers). Last millennium the difference in speed mattered.
