strtok

strtok finds all tokens in a scalar string.

svToken = strtok(ssString, ssDelimiter)

svToken = strtok(ssString, ssDelimiter, bIgnoreLeadingDelimiters)

Return Value

svToken is a string column vector with string tokens.

Parameters

ssString

ssString is a scalar string.

ssDelimiter

ssDelimiter is a scalar string with delimiter characters. The delimeters will be removed from ssString.

bIgnoreLeadingDelimiters

The number of fields returned equals the number of delimeters + 1 if bIgnoreLeadingDelimiters is FALSE (0). If bIgnoreLeadingDelimiters is TRUE (1) the function skips leading delimiters for each token. The default value for bIgnoreLeadingDelimiters is TRUE (1).

Example

strtok("1,2,3;4,5", ",;")'
1
2
3
4
5

The following example returns 2 tokens:
