STRREP String Replace Function

Section: String Functions

# Usage

Replace every occurance of one string with another. The general syntax for its use is

      p = strrep(source,find,replace)

Every instance of the string `find` in the string `source` is replaced with the string `replace`. Any of `source`, `find` and `replace` can be a cell array of strings, in which case each entry has the replace operation applied.

# Example

Here are some examples of the use of `strrep`. First the case where are the arguments are simple strings

    --> strrep('Matlab is great','Matlab','FreeMat')

    ans =
    FreeMat is great

And here we have the replace operation for a number of strings:

    --> strrep({'time is money';'A stitch in time';'No time for games'},'time','money')

    ans =
     [money is money]
     [A stitch in money]
     [No money for games]
