Forgive me if this question has already been answered. I was not able to find it. 

I need to modify a string being used in a loop. 

string = { 'the table' }

remove 'the'
so that 

newString = { 'table' }

How can I do this?

Thanks for the help!

one of the solutions
- note: you create a CELLSTR var

     s=3D{'the table'};
     r=3Dstrrep(s,'the ','')
%    r =3D 'table'     % <- a CELLSTR

us

Or, to make it LESS general, but simpler:

string = { 'the table' };
Newstring = {string{1}(5:end)}

Worked perfectly, thank you!
