Hello I have a text file where I am supposed to compare the strings in the text file with the words in another text file. After finding the word that I want to replace, how do I replace it? The first thing I did was use strfind to find the word. After that I have to replace the word with **?
str = 'Long day';
word = 'Long';
t = strfind(str, word);
After doing this I get 1. Now how do I change 'Long day' to '**** day'? The word can be of any length, so you may need more ********.
Thank you

"can be of any length"   strrep handles any length of the search and replacement string, respectively. That shouldn't be a problem.
>> str = strrep( 'abcd', 'c', '123456789' )
str =
ab123456789d
"It could also be 'something' or 'MATLAB' anything"   I guess you need to use string variables instead of static strings.
>> str = 'abcd';
>> s1 = 'c';
>> s2 = '123456789';
>> str = strrep( str, s1, s2 )
str =
ab123456789d
Then there is regexprep, but I don't think you need to use that for your current problem
"I tried this"   It is neither possible for me to know what you tried nor why you think it was no good.
