Forgive me if this question has already been answered. I was not able to find it.

I need to modify a string being used in a loop.

string = { 'the table' }

remove 'the'
so that

newString = { 'table' }

How can I do this?

Thanks for the help!

one of the solutions
- note: you create a CELLSTR var

s={'the table'};
r=strrep(s,'the ','')
% r = 'table' % <- a CELLSTR

Or, to make it LESS general, but simpler:

string = { 'the table' };
Newstring = {string{1}(5:end)}
