In modern MATLAB parlance, 'W987' is a character array, not a string.

@KSSV's answer is accurate in your case, but will not work on the string "W987". The following will work for either a character array or a string:

c = 'W987';
eraseBetween(c,1,2)

ans = '87'

s = "W987";
eraseBetween(s,1,2)

ans = "87"
