Why isn't this working?
toBeChanged = "\dot{h}_j(\phi_j,x,y) = \delta _{u}-\delta _{l}\,{\mathrm{e}}^{-\frac{{\left(q_{\mathrm{jx}}-x\right)}^2+{\left(q_{\mathrm{jy}}-y\right)}^2}{2\,\sigma ^2}}\,\phi_j";
toBeRemoved = "{\mathrm{e}}^{-\frac{{\left(p_{\mathrm{jx}}-x\right)}^2+{\left(p_{\mathrm{jy}}-y\right)}^2}{2\,\sigma ^2}}";
isContained = contains(toBeChanged,toBeRemoved)
isContained = logical
0
newString = replace(toBeChanged, toBeRemoved,"{h(p,q_j)}");
Doing this with other smaller strings works just fine.

you made a slight error when doing the copy paste ...
toBeChanged contains left(q_
and
toBeRemoved contains left(p_
if you make the correction , it works
toBeChanged = "\dot{h}_j(\phi_j,x,y) = \delta _{u}-\delta _{l}\,{\mathrm{e}}^{-\frac{{\left(q_{\mathrm{jx}}-x\right)}^2+{\left(q_{\mathrm{jy}}-y\right)}^2}{2\,\sigma ^2}}\,\phi_j";
toBeRemoved = "{\mathrm{e}}^{-\frac{{\left(q_{\mathrm{jx}}-x\right)}^2+{\left(q_{\mathrm{jy}}-y\right)}^2}{2\,\sigma ^2}}";
isContained = contains(toBeChanged,toBeRemoved)
isContained = logical
1
newString = replace(toBeChanged, toBeRemoved,"{h(p,q_j)}")
newString = "\dot{h}_j(\phi_j,x,y) = \delta _{u}-\delta _{l}\,{h(p,q_j)}\,\phi_j"

Wow, definitely needed a break, thank you!
