strrep

Replace all occurrences of a substring.

Syntax

s = strrep(str1, str2, str3)

Description

Returns str1 with every occurrence of the substring str2 replaced by str3. Replacements are made left-to-right; once a match is replaced, scanning continues after the replacement (no re-matching of inserted text).

Examples

strrep('hello world', 'world', 'there')   % 'hello there'
strrep('a-b-c-d', '-', '_')               % 'a_b_c_d'
