Clickable list of all text-pattern functions?

Is there a complete list of all text-pattern functions such as pattern(), anywhere in the documentation or discussion threads? This would be a great resource, similar to the list of all operators.

[Steven Lord]

Expand the "Match Patterns" section on this documentation page listing all the functions in the Characters and Strings category?

Thank you Steven, I appreciate your help.

In case it may help others-- I reverse-engineered Steven's answer, trying to see how I could have figured this out on my own, given multiple search failures and no help from several pattern-related function doc pages.

On the page that Steven linked to, I noticed the left-hand category sidebar hierarchy : Matlab / Language Fundamentals / Data Types / Characters and Strings.

Prior to this query, I never really paid attention to that dynamic sidebar. I see now how useful the sidebar can be to explore Matlab functionality.

The documentation pages for the individual functions has that same hierarchy information in the left frame.

Another useful technique is to use the Functions list. If you go to the documentation for MATLAB (https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/index.html) just below the blue Help Center header are six links: Documentation, Examples, Functions, Apps, Videos, and Answers. If you click on Functions you can explore functions either by category or alphabetically, going from either & or abs (depending on whether you count symbols or not) to zticks.

The left pane on that page also lets you drill into categories per product and also gives you the ability to filter on extended capabilities. Want to know which of the Characters and Strings functions are supported for C/C++ code generation with MATLAB Coder? Here you go. This search draws upon same information as the Extended Capabilities section at the end of the revelant functions' documentation pages.

Thank you Steven, for the additional tips. Like they say, when all else fails.. ;)
