Replace each characters of strings with '-'

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi, I want to replace all the characters of a string by '-', say, flowers will be like '-------'. Please tell me how am I supposed to do that. I am totally new to matlab. As a beginner I've done this so far.
%Select a word
B='skyyiy'
%input letter
c='y'
%stringlength
l=strlength(B)
%indices of letters occurring
d=strfind(B,c)
newStr=strrep(B,c,'-')

yes but when I try to replace whole word 'skyyiy' by newStr=strrep(B,B,'-') it shows only '-' not '------', why's that I am not sure. I want to replace whole word with ---- at on instance.

if you've no conditions but just to have the same length as the old string then maybe something like
>> B='skyyiy'
newStr = B;
newStr(1:end) = '-'
B =
'skyyiy'
newStr =
'------'

regexprep(B, c, '-')
or
B(B==c) = '_';
