[Scilab-users] Converting string months to month numbers

[Mike Page]

Hi Jens,

grep does something like what you want.

-->[r,w]=grep(Ms,M);
-->matrix(w,size(Ms))
 ans  =

    12.    4.
    2.     12.
    6.     7.

Not sure why grep produces a vector when searching for a matrix, but it
seems that way.

HTH,
Mike.
