MATLAB: How to split a String

split string

Hi ,

I have a string 2-1 . I want to split this into Two different strings 2 and 1.

Can someone please throw some light on how to use the split string function.

Thanks in Advance.

s2 = regexp(string, '-', 'split')

Try

%%
test='abcde.abcde';
regexp(test,'\.','split')

returns

ans =
  1×2 cell array
    {'abcde'}    {'abcde'}

dot stands for any single character. An escape is needed to a literal dot.

you could access each element of the string by looking at input_text(i) where i varies from 1 to size(input_text,2).

for example, input_text(1:3) will give you 'hel';

For more sophisticated tasks, you may want to look into cell variables for they give a lot more flexibility.
