I am writing a program that basically aim to parse the word between to similar expression and store a word in a cell array.
I want to use
regexp to math the two expression and only return and store the word in between the two expressions. any suggestions
[matchedExpression, parsedWord] = regexp (text, [& nbsp;'\w*' & nbsp;], 'split');
Example:
text= '$ nbsp;words& nbsp;'
I want to get the words
output= words
Thanx

lookaround seems to suite your need.
text = '$ nbsp;words& nbsp;';
cac = regexp( text, '(?<=\$ nbsp;).+?(?=\& nbsp;)', 'match' );
returns {'words'}
If "words" stands for more than one word and you want to 'split' them, do that in a second step.
