I tried your above posted code but don't know why it is error like this "Undefined function or variable 'str'.
Thanks and but I tried to read my txt file as shown here
fid = fopen('../data/change.txt');
F = fread(fid);
butthe result 'F' is of size 519x1 but the original txt file contains only 173 alphabet characters. Can you help me out in reading the file properly.
The txt file is attached here.
fid = fopen('change.txt');
str= textscan(fid,'%s');
fclose(fid)
str=str{:}
s='a':'z'
for k=1:numel(s)
str=regexprep(str,s(k),num2str(k),'ignorecase');
end
str
Thanks a lot.
It is working but I got a last doubt of how to plot the str- cellarray I looked at different matlab posts but was unable to make it plot.

converted_to_numbers = characters - 'a' + 1;
Then it is just a matter of writing out the numbers as text, which you already know how to do.
