MATLAB: How to use regexpi on a phrase that has a “*”

asteriskcellfunregexpregexpiwildcard

If * is used as a wildcard in regexp, how do I match to a phrase that has a star in it?

texta=find(~cellfun(@isempty, regexpi(Lines,'^text*, 'match')));

Instead of giving me the lines that have "text*" written out, it gives me all the lines 🙁

If I understood right using \* instead of * should work.

idx = setdiff(1:length(Lines), [cardelm; cardprop; cardmats; cardcs]);

Here's a regular expression that might be helpful, which matches if the last character in the string is "." or "!" or "?".

 >> candidate = 'Is this a sentence?';
 >> regexp(candidate, '.*(\.|!|?)$')
