character extraction from the output

I done number plate extraction and recognition and want to check the output having Pwdsymbol or not. Obtained output is PwDsymbol012345. How can i do it?

Are you trying to determine whether the 9-character string 'Pwdsymbol' occurs somewhere within a string?

Answer 1

s='PwDsymbol012345';
locations = strfind(s, 'PwDsymbol');
if isempty(locations)
  disp('string did not have PwDsymbol anywhere')
else
  disp('PwDsymbol found starting at locations'), locations
end

Now, its displayed in the command prompt.I want to print the 'string did not have PwDsymbol anywhere'statement in notepad. Can you help me?

See https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/340993-open-new-notepad-and-insert-some-text-without-saving-it-in-file#answer_267647 for more information on interfacing to Notepad.

... but I would suggest that perhaps this is not what you want to do. I would suggest that instead at most you want to use fopen() and fprintf() and fclose()
