Print Last Letter in a String

Im trying to print out the last Alphabetic letter in a string.

For example S1 = '%@3Gb6kl@3G9@33G';

I want the letter G to get printed out.

Any help would be great :)

Your ‘S1’ is a string array, so you can use the end function to get the last letter:

S1 = '%@3Gb6kl@3G9@33G';
LastLetter = S1(end)

produces:

LastLetter =

G

Another way to get it printed out to the command window:

fprintf('%c\n', S1(end));

Check documentation for function extractBetween

@Oscar Sotomayor How exactly would that help? How would you use extractBetween to extract the last element of a char vector? (or even the last character from a string scalar)

[Oscar Sotomayor]

If x has the text. The next code extract the two lat letters

newStr = extractBetween(x,strlength(x)-1,strlength(x))

[Rik]

The question was about only the last letter, so you need a minor edit:

x="%@3Gb6kl@3G9@33G";
newStr = extractBetween(x,strlength(x),strlength(x))

newStr = "G"

x=char(x);
newStr = extractBetween(x,strlength(x),strlength(x))

newStr = 1×1 cell array
    {'G'}
