@deftypefn  {} {@var{idx} =} strfind (@var{str}, @var{pattern})
@deftypefnx {} {@var{idx} =} strfind (@var{cellstr}, @var{pattern})
@deftypefnx {} {@var{idx} =} strfind (@dots{}, "overlaps", @var{val})
@deftypefnx {} {@var{idx} =} strfind (@dots{}, "forcecelloutput", @var{val})
Search for @var{pattern} in the string @var{str} and return the starting
index of every such occurrence in the vector @var{idx}.

If there is no such occurrence, or if @var{pattern} is longer than
@var{str}, or if @var{pattern} itself is empty, then @var{idx} is the empty
array @code{[]}.

The optional argument @qcode{"overlaps"} determines whether the pattern
can match at every position in @var{str} (true), or only for unique
occurrences of the complete pattern (false).  The default is true.

If a cell array of strings @var{cellstr} is specified then @var{idx} is a
cell array of vectors, as specified above.

The optional argument @qcode{"forcecelloutput"} forces @var{idx} to be
returned as a cell array of vectors.  The default is false.

Examples:

@deftypefnx {} {@var{newstr} =} strrep (@var{cellstr}, @var{ptn}, @var{rep})
@deftypefnx {} {@var{newstr} =} strrep (@dots{}, "overlaps", @var{val})
Replace all occurrences of the pattern @var{ptn} in the string @var{str}
with the string @var{rep} and return the result.

The optional argument @qcode{"overlaps"} determines whether the pattern
can match at every position in @var{str} (true), or only for unique
occurrences of the complete pattern (false).  The default is true.

@var{s} may also be a cell array of strings, in which case the replacement
is done for each element and a cell array is returned.

Example:

@example
@group
strrep ("This is a test string", "is", "&%$")
    @result{}  "Th&%$ &%$ a test string"
@end group
@end example

@seealso{regexprep, strfind}
