Alternative to endsWith function for older Matlab versions

12 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I have a cell array with strings in each cell, I would like to obtain the indices of the cells that contain a string ending with a particular word. Before I was using the endsWith function, but I am using an older version of matlab now and I would appreciate any advise.
Example:
A = {'pupil', 'car', 'version', 'onset', 'hello'}
results = endsWith(A,'on')
results is a logical 0 0 1 0 0
Many thanks in advance,
Fran

pattern ='on';
results = cellfun(@(x) (length(char(x))>length(pattern)) && strcmpi(pattern,x(length(char(x))-(length(pattern)-1):end)),A);
