Thank Yury Bondarenko for sharing! Also Thank Martin Hultman for the useful modification.
Thank you, this worked really well for me. I also added the following code right before the final strjoin to make it even prettier by adding some spacing after colons and commas (except inside strings).
for i = 1:length(lines)
sublines = split(lines{i}, '"');
for j = 1:2:length(sublines)
sublines{j} = strrep(sublines{j}, ':', ': ');
sublines{j} = strrep(sublines{j}, ',', ', ');
end
lines{i} = strjoin(sublines, '"');
end
lines = deblank(lines);
This worked really well fro me. I see that it doesn't handle certain cases, but it worked 100% for me and will work for almost everyone. Thanks for sharing! Sanity restored.
