Removing a part of a string in MATLAB can be done using the erase() or strrep() functions. In the erase() function, you can specify the starting and ending indices of the string to remove. In the strrep() function, you can replace the substring with an empty string.
Here are some examples to illustrate how to remove part of a string in MATLAB:
1. Using erase() function to remove a substring by specifying the indices:
str = 'Hello World';
new_str = erase(str, 7:11);
disp(new_str); % Output: 'Hello '
In this example, the erase() function removes the substring 'World' starting from index 7 and ending at index 11. The resulting string is 'Hello '.
2. Using strrep() function to replace a substring with an empty string:
str = 'Hello World';
new_str = strrep(str, 'World', '');
disp(new_str); % Output: 'Hello '
In this example, the strrep() function replaces the substring 'World' with an empty string, effectively removing it from the original string. The resulting string is 'Hello '.
