Replace character in string/cell with the character above it
显示 更早的评论
String/cell example: --> real string/cell is very long
a= { 'a' ; 'b' ; 'c' ; 'b'}
Wanted outcome:
a_new= { 'a' ; 'a' ; 'c' ; 'c'}

The general rule is not perfectly clear to me, from your small example. Do you mean that you want the even-numbered elements to be replaced? If so, then
anew = a;
a(2:2:end) = a(1:2:end-1);
If not, maybe you could explain in a little more detail.

Here is one way:
a = { 'a' ; 'b' ; 'c' ; 'b' ; 'h' ; 'g' ; 'b'};
replace_idx = find(strcmp(a,'b'));
a_new = a;
a_new(replace_idx) = a_new(replace_idx-1);
This will not work if 'b' is the first element, so you will need to modify this algorithm in that case. But you haven't given info on what you want to do then.

Maybe:
a_new = a;
a_new(2:2:end) = a(1:2:end);
Or:
index = repelemt(1:2:numel(a), 1, 2):
a_new = a(index)
[EDITED] after your comment: "So every b wil be replaced with the character above it"
index = find(strcmp(a, 'b'));
a(index) = a(index - 1);
What about: {'a'; 'b'; 'b'} or {'b'} or {'b', 'a'}?
