Question

I have a celll u(5,1) that looks like :

u{​​​​​1,1}​​​​​=''ART1/TEACH''

u{​​​​​2,1}​​​​​=''H0ME/SHOW''

I want to remove the first 5 characters from each of these strings so that in MATLAB:

u{​​​​​1,1}​​​​​=''TEACH''

u{​​​​​2,1}​​​​​=''SHOW''

How can I do it?

Answer 1

Here is the code

====================================================================

u ={"ART1/TEACH";"H0ME/SHOW123";"ART2/TEACHES";"H0ME/SHOW12";"ART4/TEACHER"};
for i = 1: length(u)
s = u{i,1};
u{i,1} = s(6:length(u{i,1})); % slice the string from position 5 to last index and store at the same index
end

% display all the string
for i = 1: length(u)
s = u{i,1};
disp(u{i,1});
end
