MATLAB: Regexprep help with replacing strings

Question

Hey guys/girls,

I'm needing to replace some elements of a string and I'm using regexprep. What I have to replace is a number followed by a space followed by a letter. This must be replaced with the number and two enter signs then the letter. The example will be the best to get an idea of what I mean.

Say I have the string

'hello youre 15 years old'

I want to change this to be

'hello youre 15[\n\n]years old'

where the \n is an enter.

This must also work for any general 'number' 'space' 'letter' combination.

Thank you in advance!

'(\d+)\s+([A-Za-z])', '$1\n\n$2'
