MATLAB: String function

strings

Trying to get the program to display if the letter is in the word.

And word = any word

fid = fopen('hangman.txt', 'r'); if fid < 0, error('Cannot open file.'); end CC = textscan(fid, '%s'); C = CC{1}; fclose(fid); index = ceil(rand * numel(C)); word = C{index};

first_guess=input('Enter letter'); result1=findstr(word,'first_guess')

Best Answer

result1 = ~isempty(findstr(word,first_guess));

I am taking you at your word here that you just want to display if the letter is in the word -- as opposed to displaying the positions that it occurs in the word.

Note: findstr() has been recommended against for a number of years now -- since before I started using MATLAB. strfind() is recommended in its place.

Hello,

So long time you have waiting. Here I give you my code.

I have 'Hangman.txt'

signature
chair
calculator
window
picture
browser
phone
book
table
glass

And this is my code :

clear; clc;
fid = fopen('Hangman.txt','r');
if fid < 0,    error('Cannot open file');    end
data = textscan(fid,'%s');
data = data{1};
fclose(fid); 
index = ceil(rand * numel(data));
word = data{index};
masked = word; 
masked(~isspace(masked)) = '#';
complete = 0;
while complete == 0
    clc;
    fprintf('Word : %s\n',masked);
    letter = char(input('Guess a letter : ','s'));
    stat = findstr(word,letter);
    if ~isempty(stat)
        masked(stat) = letter;        
    end
    if isempty(findstr(masked,'#'))
        complete = 1;
    end    
end
clc; fprintf('Word : %s\n',masked);

Just try to run it.
