How replace matching string

Hi,

I have below cell array:

Pass                Pass{overflow :1,unbound:5,warning:9}   Miss
Pass                Miss                                    Trigger
Passs               Pass                                    Pass

I want to replace:

1. Pass with '1',
2. Miss with '2' ,
3. Any thing else with '2'

Kindly some one help how to do this,

I can only strrep to replace, I dont not know how to do 3rd condition(any thing else)

Because your second and third condition can be merged, you can use ismember:

data={'Pass','Pass{overflow :1,unbound:5,warning:9}','Miss';
'Pass','Miss','Trigger';
'Passs','Pass','Pass'};
L=ismember(data,{'Pass'});

output=2*ones(size(data));
output(L)=1;

Note that this requires exact matches. You could also write a custom function and use cellfun:

output2=cellfun(@my_custom_fun,data)

function val=my_custom_fun(str)
if strcmpi(str,'pass')
    val=1;
elseif strcmpi(str,'miss')
    val=2;
elseif contains(str,'Pass')
    val=1.5;
else
    val=2;
end
end

@Mekala balaji: did you copy the function that Rik gave you, and save it to your Search Path (e.g. the current directory) using that function name?
