Hallo Scilab experts,
I am looking for a command to

*return the match (or position) of a character string (=needle) in a **vector**of strings (=haystack), where needle may be a regular expression*

Needle occurs only once in any line of haystack. That may ease the problem.

[start, final, match] = regexp(input, pattern, 'r') is very close to it but does not accept a vector of strings as a haystack. I hope to have overlooked something in my search. Is there such a command? Vectorisation is essential here because otherwise the search is too slow for many lines (<10^6).

You may concatenate your input array with some gluing character that you know is not in the strings (for instance, likely, ascii(10)), and then use regexp() on the single glued result.

HTH
Samuel
