mtlb_findstr

Matlab findstr emulation function

Description

There is no Scilab equivalent for Matlab findstr.

The function mtlb_findstr(A,B) is used by mfile2sci to replace findstr(A,B) when it was not possible to know what were the operands/inputs[CUSTOM] while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_findstr calls:

• If A is always longer than B (i.e. findstr can be replaced by strfind in Matlab, mtlb_findstr(A,B) may be replaced by strindex(A,B)

Caution: mtlb_findstr has not to be used for hand coded functions.
