MATLAB: Split a string with strsplit unique

Question

I have this string

a='Position=a.Velocity=b.Acceleration=c.'
strsplit(a,{'Velocity=','.'})
ans = 
      'Position=a'    'b'    'Acceleration=c'    ''

but the result I want in ans is only b how I can do it?

Answer 1

Experiment with the regexp function.

Example:

a='Position=a.Velocity=b.Acceleration=c.';
Vel = regexp(a, '(?<=Velocity=)\w', 'match')
Vel =
    cell
      'b'
