MATLAB: How to count certain characters in a word

I need to write a program, using loops and functions, that would count numbers of certain letters in a word.

For example if i input a word:'matlabprogram', and i want to count number of a,b,c,d letters in this word the program would say: a=3,b=3,c=0,d=0

Can you please help me?

P.S. sorry for my bad english

a = ('a':'d')'
b = 'matlabprogram'
out1 = [cellstr(a), num2cell(histc(b,a)')]

MATLAB: Add bits before last alphabet of every word

Try this:

str = 'MATLAB is a super awesome program';
words = strsplit(str)
for k = 1 : length(words)
	thisString = words{k};
	if length(thisString) >= 2
		words{k} = sprintf('%s%c%c', thisString(1:end-1), char(hex2dec('2020D')), thisString(end));
	end
end
% Reconstruct into a single string
words
str2 = [];
for k = 1 : length(words)
	thisString = words{k};
	str2 = sprintf('%s %s', str2, thisString);
end
str2

You'll see in the command window:

words =

1×6 cell array

{'MATLAB'} {'is'} {'a'} {'super'} {'awesome'} {'program'}

words =

1×6 cell array

{'MATLAB'} {'is'} {'a'} {'super'} {'awesome'} {'program'}

str2 =

' MATLAB is a super awesome program'

except that the FFFF in the boxes don't show up in MATLAB - they're just little empty boxes.
