Hello everybody! I am not so used to editing and working with .txt files in MATLAB. I am looking for ways to replace multiple set of characters like '=' , '+', '-' with any single character like '%'. I guess I need to use regexprep for this purpose, but I am not able to figure it out for the .txt file. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

What do you mean by not being able to figure it out for the .txt file?

I meant if the input is a cell array, it can be worked out by specifying each cell as cell{} and replacing, but how should I do it for a .txt file with several lines?

Here is a simple example on how to use regexprep to replace '=','+','-' with '%'.
strIn = 'Please replace multiple set of characters like =, +, - with %';
strOut = regexprep(strIn,'[=+-]','%');
The result becomes:
>> strOut
strOut =
'Please replace multiple set of characters like %, %, % with %'

Thank you for your response. I am trying to work with a .txt file here. so if the input is a .txt file, how does the format of the regexprep work? I tried this:
fid = fopen('replacedFile.txt','wt');
fprintf(fid,'%s',regexprep('myFile.txt','[=+()]','%'));
fclose(fid);
I know it is wrong since it just creates a .txt file with 'myFile.txt' as one line.
