indexing multiple occurrence in a string using regexprep

Hi!

I have a string where Plot_Num occurs multiple times. Is there any way to use regexprep to find all occurrence of Plot_Num and replace them with Plot_Num 1, Plot_Num 2, ... in the order they are found.

Thanks.

S = 'asdhaskh dPlot_Numlaksdlkab sPlot_Numasd ';
num = length(strfind(S, 'Plot_Num));
T = strrep(S, 'Plot_Num', 'Plot_Num %d');
R = sprintf(T, 1:num);

Ok. I tried your answer and it looks like it works on a string where there is no %. The string that I have is actually an html file written in matlab so every line starts with %. I can take % out and then add it (I think) but the problem is that in this file I have references to some charts stored in different directories thus end up using for example charts\2hr\. The problem is that the sprintf stops printing when it reaches \.
