The function would have been useful to me in the past several
times - and certainly in the future.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Scilaber's,
Fyi, another approach using execstr + evstr functions:
// use month names in M to create 12 variables that are assigned to some 12 numbers
-->execstr(M + '=' + string(1:size(M,2)));
-->evstr(Ms)
ans =
12. 4.
2. 12.
6. 7.
This different approach will be much slower than using grep for very large input matrices.
However, it is worth knowing about it because execstr is one of the most powerful Scilab functions (see for instance the Meta programming chapter in: “Programming in Scilab”, by Michael Baudin, September 2011).
Regards,
Rafael

Subject: Re: [Scilab-users] Converting string months to month numbers
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.

Hallo,
Given the string vector
M=['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec']
which implicitly maps the string representation of the months to their number representataion I would like to map any string matrix containing elements of M into a numercal matrix showing the month numbers.
E. g.
Ms=['Dec','Apr';'Feb','Dec';'Jun','Jul']
should be converted to
Mn=[12,4;2,12;6,7].
Ho can that be done in a vectorial style?
Backward (given Mn) it is easier to me:
Ms=matrix(M(Mn),size(Mn))

Jens
