while (any(remainder))
[chopped,remainder] = strtok(remainder);
allWords = strvcat(allWords, chopped);
end
The strmatch function looks through the rows of a character array or cell
array of strings to find strings that begin with a given series of characters. It
returns the indices of the rows that begin with these characters:
maxstrings = strvcat('max', 'minimax', 'maximum')
maxstrings =
max
minimax
maximum
strmatch('max', maxstrings)
