find string pattern in strings ( 'ab*d' in 'abcd')

12 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello,
I want to check if there is a string pattern within a string. The pattern may look like this: 'ab*d', where * could be one or more charakters or none. So if the pattern would be 'abQWEd' or 'abd' I still want to have a positive feedback. Do you know how to do this?
Thanks!

try this:
pattern = 'ab.*d'; %%Pattern to match
textstr = 'sqthabVUYd'; %%Input string
match = regexp(textstr,pattern,'match');
this will match 'abVUYd' in the input string.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much.

Ah, I was too fast. Is there a way to make ".*" not include all charakters? If there is a "n" or a "N" it shall not work. Do you also know how to solve this?

I presume that you want it to work for all patterns 'ab.*d' that don't contain the letter "n" or "N", such that "abCDnMMd" does not produce a valid match while "abCDMMdn" does. If that's the case then, try this pattern:
pattern = 'ab((\W*[a-mA-Mo-zO-Z0-9]*\W*)*)d'; %%Pattern to match
*Note:
\W* => zero or more non-word characters
[a-mA-Mo-zO-Z]* => a group of zero or more upper or lowercase letters of the alphabet excluding "n" or "N".

Thanks for your reply. Your presumption is right!
But the code doesn't work exactly how I want.
test='((\W*[a-mA-Mo-zO-Z0-9]*\W*)*)6';
regexp(test,'n6','match')
ans =
{} %%Expected answer
regexp(test,'6','match')
ans =
'6' %%Expected answer
regexp(test,'ABC6','match')
ans =
{} %%Not expected :(
But when I put the inputs this way
regexp('ABC6',test,'match')
ans =
'ABC6' %Expected answer
%%But then the problem is:
regexp('n6',test,'match')
ans =
'6' % Not expected, because of the 'n'
