Replace characters in strings that meet a condition
显示 更早的评论
I have a 1x5 string array:
myStrings = [ "HH RBPMS", "HH RBPMS", "HH SCGN", "HH RBPMS", "HH ChAT" ];
I would like to replace the characters "HH" with the characters "CT" in the strings which contain the characters "ChAT".
It seems that this should be a simple problem with a simple answer, but it's causing me misery:
contains(myStrings, 'ChAT")
returns a logical array, but I can't see how to use that array to do the replace operation on all the strings in the array.
With apologies for my dim-wittedness and thanks for any suggestions,
Paul Martin

Hi Paul,
To replace the characters 'HH' in the strings we can use logical indexing with the contains function to identify which strings contain "ChAT" and then apply the replace function on those strings.
myStrings = ["HH RBPMS", "HH RBPMS", "HH SCGN", "HH RBPMS", "HH ChAT"];
index = contains(myStrings, "ChAT");
myStrings(index) = replace(myStrings(index), "HH", "CT");
disp(myStrings);
This code snippet will search for the substring "ChAT" in each element of myStrings, then replace "HH" with "CT" only in those elements that contain "ChAT".
To learn more about the replace function in MATLAB, please refer to the following documentation:
Hope this resolves your query!
