insertAfter
Insert strings after specified substrings
Description
inserts newStr
= insertAfter(str
,pat
,newText
)newText
into str
after the substring
specified by pat
and returns the result as
newStr
. If pat
occurs multiple times in
str
, then insertAfter
inserts text after
every occurrence of pat
.
If str
is a string array or a cell array of character vectors,
then insertAfter
inserts newText
into each
element of str
. The output argument newStr
has
the same data type as str
.
Examples
Insert Text After Substring
Create string arrays and insert text after substrings.
You can create strings using double quotes.
str = "The quick fox"
str = "The quick fox"
Insert text after the substring "quick"
.
newStr = insertAfter(str,"quick"," brown")
newStr = "The quick brown fox"
Insert substrings into each element of a string array. When you specify different substrings as positions, they must be contained in a string array or a cell array that is the same size as str
.
str = ["The quick fox jumps";"over the dog"]
str = 2x1 string
"The quick fox jumps"
"over the dog"
newStr = insertAfter(str,["quick";"the"],[" brown";" lazy"])
newStr = 2x1 string
"The quick brown fox jumps"
"over the lazy dog"
Insert Text After Start of Path Using Pattern
Since R2020b
Create a string array of file names, including full paths. The paths begin with different drive letters.
str = ["C:\Temp\MyReport.docx"; "D:\Data\Experiment1\Trial1\Sample1.csv"; "E:\Presentations\Slides.pptx"]
str = 3x1 string
"C:\Temp\MyReport.docx"
"D:\Data\Experiment1\Trial1\Sample1.csv"
"E:\Presentations\Slides.pptx"
Insert a new folder name after each drive letter. To match the drive letters, create a pattern that matches a single letter using the lettersPattern
function, and follows it with the characters ":\"
. Then call insertAfter
.
pat = lettersPattern(1) + ":\"
pat = pattern
Matching:
lettersPattern(1) + ":\"
filenames = insertAfter(str,pat,"Archive\")
filenames = 3x1 string
"C:\Archive\Temp\MyReport.docx"
"D:\Archive\Data\Experiment1\Trial1\Sample1.csv"
"E:\Archive\Presentations\Slides.pptx"
For a list of functions that create pattern objects, see pattern
.
Insert Substring After Position
Create string arrays and specify positions to insert substrings.
You can create strings using double quotes.
str = "James Maxwell"
str = "James Maxwell"
Insert a substring after the fifth character.
newStr = insertAfter(str,5," Clerk")
newStr = "James Clerk Maxwell"
Insert substrings into each element of a string array. When you specify different positions with numeric arrays, they must be the same size as the input string array.
str = ["James Maxwell";"Carl Gauss"]
str = 2x1 string
"James Maxwell"
"Carl Gauss"
newStr = insertAfter(str,[5;4],[" Clerk";" Friedrich"])
newStr = 2x1 string
"James Clerk Maxwell"
"Carl Friedrich Gauss"
Insert Text After Position in Character Vector
Create a character vector and insert text after a specified position.
chr = 'mushrooms and onions'
chr = 'mushrooms and onions'
Insert text after the ninth position.
newChr = insertAfter(chr,9,', peppers,')
newChr = 'mushrooms, peppers, and onions'
Insert text after a substring.
newChr = insertAfter(chr,'mushrooms',', peppers,')
newChr = 'mushrooms, peppers, and onions'
Input Arguments
str
— Input text
string array | character vector | cell array of character vectors
Input text, specified as a string array, character vector, or cell array of character vectors.
pat
— Text or pattern that marks start position
string array | character vector | cell array of character vectors | pattern
array (since R2020b)
Text or pattern in str
that marks the start position
for inserted text, specified as one of the following:
String array
Character vector
Cell array of character vectors
pattern
array (since R2020b)
If str
is a string array or cell array of character
vectors, then you can insert text into every element of
str
. You can specify that the insertions either all
have the same start or have different starts in each element of
str
.
To specify the same start, specify
pat
as a character vector, string scalar, orpattern
object.To specify different starts, specify
pat
as a string array, cell array of character vectors, orpattern
array.
pos
— Start position
numeric array
Start position, specified as a numeric array.
If str
is a string array or a cell array of character
vectors, then pos
can be a numeric scalar or numeric
array of the same size as str
.
newText
— Text to insert
string array | character vector | cell array of character vectors
Text to insert, specified as a string array, character vector, or cell array of character vectors.
If str
is a string array or cell array of character
vectors, then newText
can be a character vector, string
scalar, or a string array or cell array of the same size as
str
.
Output Arguments
newStr
— Output text
string array | character vector | cell array of character vectors
Output text, returned as a string array, character vector, or cell array
of character vectors. str
and newStr
have the same data type.
Extended Capabilities
Tall Arrays
Calculate with arrays that have more rows than fit in memory.
The
insertAfter
function supports tall arrays with the following usage
notes and limitations:
If
pat
is an array of pattern objects, the size of the first dimension of the array must be 1.
For more information, see Tall Arrays.
C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.
Usage notes and limitations:
str
,pat
, andnewText
must be a string scalar, a character vector, or a cell array containing not more than one character vector.
Thread-Based Environment
Run code in the background using MATLAB® backgroundPool
or accelerate code with Parallel Computing Toolbox™ ThreadPool
.
This function fully supports thread-based environments. For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions in Thread-Based Environment.
Distributed Arrays
Partition large arrays across the combined memory of your cluster using Parallel Computing Toolbox™.
Usage notes and limitations:
pattern
objects must be scalar.
For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions with Distributed Arrays (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
