MATLAB: Doing a ‘strfind’ with apostrophe in the string

apostrophestrfind

i have to do a strfind for the following phrase:

'REACQ'='N'

But when I go to do A = strfind(B, ''REACQ'='Y''), then there are clearly too many apostrophes in the code for MATLAB to know what to do..

Use double apostrophes everywhere you have an apostrophe in your string, e.g:

A = findstr('''', '''REACQ''=''Y''')

How about using regexp to find the position of spaces, and delete 2nd~Nth spaces? Like:

mystring = 'this is my string';
pos = regexp(mystring,'\s');
mystring(pos(2:end)) = [];

Did you try str2double()?
