How to replace specific characters in a cell array?

1 min readMar 14, 2023

I have a question about a code.

I have a cell array with strings and I would like to replace the last 5 characters with another for every cell array. I tried strrep but no use.

For example I have an array:

A={‘MATHIEW’,’NIKOLIEW’,’SAMIEW’,’SAMOURAI’}.

I would like to replace ONLY in the strings that their last 3 characters have the elen\ments: IEW, with the elements ‘YAU’.

I mean that I want my final array to be:

B={‘MATHYAU’,’NIKOLYAU’,’SAMYAU’,’SAMOURAI’}.

Try the function endsWith in a loop to check if the string ends with certain characters

B={'MATHIEW','NIKOLIEW','SAMIEW','SAMOURAI'}

B = 1×4 cell array
    {'MATHIEW'}    {'NIKOLIEW'}    {'SAMIEW'}    {'SAMOURAI'}

for k = 1 : numel(B)
    if endsWith(B{k}, 'IEW', 'IgnoreCase', true)
        B{k}(end-2 : end) = 'YAU';
    end
end
B % Show in command window

B = 1×4 cell array
    {'MATHYAU'}    {'NIKOLYAU'}    {'SAMYAU'}    {'SAMOURAI'}
