Method Reference: string.insertAfter

string: newstr = insertAfter (str, pat, newtext)
string: newstr = insertAfter (str, pos, newtext)

Insert text after a pattern or position.

newstr = insertAfter (str, pat, newtext) inserts the text newtext into each element of str after every non-overlapping occurrence of the substring pat. pat can be a string array, a character vector, or a cell array of character vectors, and must either be a scalar, applied to every element of str, or be of the same size as str and applied element-wise. If pat is not found in an element, that element is returned unchanged.

newstr = insertAfter (str, pos, newtext) inserts newtext after the character position pos, that is, between the characters at positions pos and pos+1. pos must be a positive integer not exceeding the length of the corresponding element of str, and must be either a scalar or the same size as str.

newtext can be a string array, a character vector, or a cell array of character vectors, and must be either a scalar, inserted at every position, or of the same size as str. newstr is a string array of the same size as str. Missing values in str are preserved, and a missing value in newtext makes the corresponding element of newstr missing.

Example: 1

insertAfter inserts text right after each occurrence of a substring.

 s = string ({'hello world'; 'good day'})
s =
  2x1 string array

    "hello world"    
    "good day"
 insertAfter (s, ' ', 'big ')
ans =
  2x1 string array

    "hello big world"    
    "good big day"
