You can split text with strread(), e.g. to split a long string at line breaks, do this:

lines = strread(text, ‘%s’, ‘delimiter’, ‘\n’);

This will give you a cell array.
regexp also works on cell as input, yielding a cell-of-cells as output. strread() doesn’t and you’ll have to loop manually.

HTH,

Eric

I have filenames like
A__somethinghere.png

To get the ‘A’ I use this in my loop:
temp = dirList(x).name;
temp2 = regexp (temp,’__’,'split’);
imagegroup = temp2{1,1};

plz send me the code ……..
tanx alot ………:)

TargetVar = regexp(‘(any string)’,'(delimiter)’,'split’);

The output is a cell array (maybe two deep, I don’t remember) with the entries you want. Type help regexp.

Thanks for this! I was driving me crazy that there was no simple solution for this in Matlab. There are some functions around but none as efficient as yours. And, I could not find this in the Matlab reference (R2006b). The ‘split’ option is nowhere to be found.

GNU Octave has the ‘split’ function that does just this and this was giving me headaches when porting my code to Matlab.

Thanks again.

1) I really like your photo-navigation! That’s quite creative.

2) When you are giving help on a particular application such as Matlab, please list the version that you are using. In v6.5.2, I get “Invalid option for regexp: split.” I found that my version of regexp only accepts two arguments anyway.

Thanks.
