StringCases

Usage
Notes
Further Examples

This picks out substrings consisting of an "a" followed by any character.

In[1]:=  

Out[1]=

This does the same thing.

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

This returns only the character following the "a".

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

This does the same thing.

In[4]:=  

Out[4]=

This picks out words that do not contain "t".

In[5]:=  

Out[5]=

This picks out words with double letters.

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

This does the same thing.

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

This gives the list of substrings starting with "a" and ending with "t". Overlaps are not included by default.

In[8]:=  

Out[8]=

With overlaps, many more substrings are found.

In[9]:=  

Out[9]=

Using  , even multiple substrings starting at the same position are included.

In[10]:=  

Out[10]=

To get the shortest substrings use ShortestMatch.

In[11]:=  

Out[11]=

This splits a list of phone numbers into their individual parts.

In[12]:=  

Out[12]=

This does the same thing.

In[13]:=  

Out[13]=

For efficiency a list can be used as the first argument of StringCases. This picks out numbers with at least two identical digits.

In[14]:=  

Out[14]=
