incsearch function in matlab

To implement an incremental search function in MATLAB, you can use the strfind function or regular expressions to find matches within a given string. Here is an example implementation:

main.m
function matchingIndices = incrementalSearch(searchString, dataArray)
    % Initialize an empty array to store the matching indices
    matchingIndices = [];
    
    % Loop through each element in the dataArray
    for i = 1:numel(dataArray)
        % Check if the searchString is present in the current element
        if ~isempty(strfind(dataArray{i}, searchString))
            % If a match is found, store the index of the element
            matchingIndices = [matchingIndices, i];
        end
    end
    
    % Display the matching indices
    disp(matchingIndices);
end

To use this function, you can call it with a search string and an array of data to search within. The function will return the indices of the elements in the array where a match is found. For example:

main.m
dataArray = {'apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'pineapple', 'mango'};
searchString = 'an';

matchingIndices = incrementalSearch(searchString, dataArray);

5 lines

This will output [1, 2, 4] since 'an' is present in 'banana', 'orange', and 'pineapple'.
