Dear all,
This is my matrix
Matrix={
'country' 'values1' 'text'
'wr' [ 152] [ NaN]
'wr' [ 45152] [ NaN]
'wr' [ 654152] [ NaN]
'wr' [ 15552] 'dedfr1'
'wr' [ 155682] 'dggyyd'
'wr' [ 15445352] 'ghn23r'
'wr' [ 1545672] 'ghtyu1'
'AW' [ 142452] [ NaN]
'AW' [ 154522] [ NaN]
'AW' [ 1545242] [ NaN]
'AW' [ 154562] 'derf'
'AW' [ 15482] 'wedgrdt'
'AW' [ 1592] 'ftervd'
'JI' [ 15972] 'lofwfr'
'JI' [ 1952] [ NaN']
'JI' [ 1529] [ NaN']
'JI' [ 1592] [ NaN']
'JI' [ 151442] 'ftth'
'JI' [ 55152] 'eswq'
'JI' [ 8152] 'qwsd 23'
}
I want to replace all the text informatin that corresponds to 'Aw', that is,
AW={'derf'
'wedgrdt'
'ftervd'
'lofwfr'}
by other text information
AWnew={'AW3', 'AW2', 'AW5','AW8'};
so as to have a new matrix
Matrix={
'country' 'values1' 'text'
'wr' [ 152] [ NaN]
'wr' [ 45152] [ NaN]
'wr' [ 654152] [ NaN]
'wr' [ 15552] 'dedfr1'
'wr' [ 155682] 'dggyyd'
'wr' [ 15445352] 'ghn23r'
'wr' [ 1545672] 'ghtyu1'
'AW' [ 142452] [ NaN]
'AW' [ 154522] [ NaN]
'AW' [ 1545242] [ NaN]
'AW' [ 154562] 'AW3'
'AW' [ 15482] 'AW2'
'AW' [ 1592] 'AW5'
'JI' [ 15972] 'AW8'
'JI' [ 1952] [ NaN']
'JI' [ 1529] [ NaN']
'JI' [ 1592] [ NaN']
'JI' [ 151442] 'ftth'
'JI' [ 55152] 'eswq'
'JI' [ 8152] 'qwsd 23'
}
Similarly, I wan to replace the text information that corresponds to 'Wr' by other text information and so on..
I tried the following code only for 'AW'
list={'wr','AW' 'JI'}
for rr=2
countryName=list(rr); % which country we are referring t
Countryindic = cellfun(@(country)strcmp(country, countryName), Matrix(:,1)) ;
kkk2= find( Countryindic==1);
for k=1:numel(AW)
Matrix(kkk2,3)=cellfun(@(x) regexprep(x,AW{k},AWnew{k}),Matrix(kkk2,3),'un',0);
end
end
but I get this message
Undefined function or method 'regexprep' for input arguments of type 'double'.
Error in ==> @(x) regexprep(x,AW{k},AWnew{k})
Is there any other code that could get this job done efficienty or quickly?
My real matrix is 40000 by 29
thanks

AW={'derf','wedgrdt','ftervd','lofwfr'}
AWnew={'AW3', 'AW2', 'AW5','AW8'};
for k=1:numel(AW)
Matrix(find(strcmp(Matrix,AW{k})))={AWnew{k}}
end

%or simpler
col3=Matrix(:,3);
AW={'derf', 'wedgrdt','ftervd','lofwfr'}
AWnew={'AW3', 'AW2', 'AW5','AW8'};
for k=1:numel(AW)
col3(find(strcmp(col3,AW{k})))={AWnew{k}}
end
M=[Matrix col3]

looping over strrep would do, I presume:
A = {...}
Anew = {...}
for k = 1: ...,
Matrix(:,3) = strrep(Matrix(:,3), A{k},Anew{k})
end
