Hello,
I want to be able to tell Matlab that if a string ends with a (hyphen)-(word)-(number) pattern it should apply a certain rule, elsewise if a string ends with a (word)-(number)-(number) pattern to apply a different rule.
For example I need to be able to tell matlab to differentiate between:
- '- car 6'
- 'car 5 32'
(note that there is whitespace in there and the numbers can be between 1 and 4 figures)
Pseudocode for this is as follows:
if <string ends with (hyphen)-(word)-(number) pattern>
%do this
else <string ends with (word)-(number)-(number) pattern>
%do something else
I am fairly certain I can use the 'regexp' command to identify this, but I'm not certain of the syntax. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
