I have been using Matlab since version 4 (1999 or so) and still prefer it over all other software tools available for data manipulation :-)

My professional interests: neuroscience (motor control & eye movements), cognitive psychology physics, mathematics, teaching

How can I search a cell array for all instances of a character and replace it with something else?
