finding a string in a character array

Good day people.please I need your help.

If a user inputs a character array of strings in the edit box,and he clicks on the pushbutton,I need a code that will check if the input:

has the letter A :disp'it is upi dialect'.
has the letter R :disp'it is iri dialect'.
has the letter Y and E :it is ibakwa dialect'
contains a word that ends with letter S :it is udi dialect'

note the letters are case insensitive

Add in the callback of the edit field:

Str = get(EditH, 'String');
% Is it a multi-line edit field? Then convert it to a string at first:
if iscell(Str)
  Str = sprintf('%s\n', Str{:});
end

lowStr = lower(Str);
if any(strfind(lowStr, 'a'))
  disp('it is upi dialect');
elseif any(strfind(lowStr, 'r')) 
  disp('it is iri dialect');
elseif any(strfind(lowStr, 'y')) ||  any(strfind(lowStr, 'e'))
  disp('it is ibakwa dialect');
elseif any(lowStr, 's\>')  % contains a word that ends with letter S:
  disp('it is udi dialect');
else
  disp('???');
end
