extractAfter

Extract substring after specified positions

Syntax

newStr = extractAfter(str,pat)

newStr = extractAfter(str,pos)

Description

newStr = extractAfter(str,pat) extracts the substring that begins after the substring specified by pat and ends with the last character of str. If pat occurs multiple times in str, then newStr is str from the first occurrence of pat to the end.

newStr = extractAfter(str,pos) extracts the substring that begins after the position specified by pos and ends with the last character of str.

Note

Only Stateflow^® charts that use MATLAB^® as the action language support the extractAfter operator.
