My guess is that you're using a version
of Matlab prior to R2013a. Despite the fact that they are generic functions and should have bee added ages ago, strsplit
and strjoin
were only added in this most recent version.
There are several ways you can get around not having access to strsplit
if all you want to do is split a string into words. If all of your whitespaces are simple spaces you can just use strread
like this:
strread(line,'%s','delimiter',' ')
However, textscan
should be more robust:
textscan(line,'%s')
Using regexp
should also be robust, but will likely be slower:
regexp(line,'\s+','split')
All of these return outputs as cell arrays of strings (your words), just like strsplit
. The output from textscan
is transposed relative to the others.
