MATLAB: I am using R2018b, and trying to use the function ‘validtaestring’, but it doesn’t find a partial match. Has anyone tried that in this version

MATLABvalidatestring

STR2={'AA_UCECC'};

str='UCE';

validatestring(str,STR2)

Expected input to match one of these values:

'AA_UCECC'

The input, 'UCE', did not match any of the valid values.

Seems like validatestring only searches first n characters. Therefore I am using strfind.

Thank you,

GUy

Introduced in R2013a and you are probably using an earlier version.

Not exactly sure what you're looking for but you might look at the functions contains() and strfind():

str = 'Arizona'; % Arizona is awesome!  And it contains both upper and lower case A.
containsA = contains(str, 'A', 'IgnoreCase', true)
containsQ = contains(str, 'Q', 'IgnoreCase', true)
logicalA = str == 'A' % Case sensitive.

logicalQ = str == 'Q' % Case sensitive.
ALocation = strfind(str, 'A')
QLocation = strfind(str, 'Q')

In the command window, you'll see:

containsA =

logical

containsQ =

logical

logicalA =

1×7 logical array

1 0 0 0 0 0 0

logicalQ =

1×7 logical array

0 0 0 0 0 0 0

ALocation =

QLocation =

[]

So, does one of these do what you want? Any follow up questions?
