Scilab String

1. The document describes various string functions in Scilab including functions for case conversion, finding matches in strings, checking character types, reversing strings, finding positions of substrings, and comparing strings. 2. Key functions are convstr() for case conversion, grep() for finding matches, isalphanum() to check character types, strrev() to reverse strings, and strcmp() to compare strings. 3. These functions allow manipulating and analyzing string data in Scilab through operations like conversion, searching, validation, reordering, and comparison of character strings.

String Functions

1. Case Conversion: convstr()


convstr(str, [flag]) The convstr function converts the matrix of strings str into
lower case (for flag = "l"; default value) or upper case (for flag = "u").

Eg:

A=

['welcome','to' ,'strings']

convstr(A,'u')
output: !WELCOME TO STRINGS !
2. grep() : Find matches of a string in a vector of strings
Eg: 1. txt=['find matches of a string in a vector of strings'
'search position of a character string in an other string'
'Compare Strings'];
grep(txt,'strings')
ans :

1.

grep(txt,['strings' 'Strings'])
ans: 1.

1.

2. str = ["hat";"cat";"hhat";"chat";"hcat";"ccchat";"at";"dog"]
str =
!hat
!
!
!
!cat
!
!
!
!hhat !
!
!
!chat !
!
!
!hcat !
!
!
!ccchat !
!
!
!at
!
!
!
!dog
!

grep(str,'/[hc]+at/','r') -- Return a vector of indices for which the string


ends with at and also contain either h or c in the previous character
ans

6.

grep(str,'/cat|dog/','r') --- Return a vector of indices for which the strings


contain cat or dog.
ans

3. isalphanum ()
It checks if characters of a string are alphanumerics.
s = '%%%%WelcometoStrings!!!!';
isalphanum(s)
ans = F F F F T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T F F F F
4. isascii(str) -Return Boolean if the given string is in 7 bit US-ASCII character code
letters = [115.

99.

98.]

letters =
115.

99.

98.

isascii(letters)
ans = T T T T T T
ascii(letters) --- returns the character for the respective codes.
ans = scilab
5. isdigit(Str) check that characters of a string are digits between 0 and 9 and returns a
Boolean matrix
6. isletter(str) --- check that characters of a string are alphabetic letters and returns a
Boolean matrix
7. isnum(str)

-- checks if a string represents a number and returns a Boolean matrix.

Eg: s = ['123','A','$'];

isnum(s)
ans = T F F
8. Length(str) Returns the length of the string
Eg: s = ['123','A','$'];
length(s)
ans =

length(letters)
ans =

9. Strrev(Str) Reverses the given string


strrev('SCILab')
ans = baLICS

10. strchr It finds the first occurrence of a character in a string

11. strrchr It finds the last occurrence of a character in a string


s = 'hello everybody. Is everyone fine over there!!';
strchr(s,'o')
ans = o everybody. Is everyone fine over there!!
strrchr(s,'e')
ans = e!!
12.
strstr(str,substring) It helps in locating the substring from the
given string.

strstr(s,'fine')
ans =

fine over there!!

13.
Strindex(str,element) Return the index position of the element
present in the given entire string.
strindex(s,'e')
ans =

14. Strcmp(str1,str2) - Compares two strings str1 and str2. If both strings are same
0 is returned. If they are reverse, 1 is returned. If there is a mismatch, then -1 is
returned. Case dependent.
strcmp('Scilab','scilab')
ans = - 1.
strcmp('scilab','scilab')
ans =

0.

strcmp('scilab','balics')
ans =

1.

15. strcmpi(str1,str2) --- case independent.


strcmpi('Scilab','scilab')
ans =

0.
