## @deftypefn  {} {@var{idx} =} strmatch (@var{s}, @var{A})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{idx} =} strmatch (@var{s}, @var{A}, "exact")
##
## This function is obsolete.  @strong{Use an alternative} such as
## @code{strncmp} or @code{strcmp} instead.
##
## Return indices of entries of @var{A} which begin with the string @var{s}.
##
## The second argument @var{A} must be a string, character matrix, or a cell
## array of strings.
##
## If the third argument @qcode{"exact"} is not given, then @var{s} only
## needs to match @var{A} up to the length of @var{s}.  Trailing spaces and
## nulls in @var{s} and @var{A} are ignored when matching.
##
## For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## strmatch ("apple", "apple juice")
##      @result{} 1
##
## strmatch ("apple", ["apple  "; "apple juice"; "an apple"])
##      @result{} [1; 2]
##
## strmatch ("apple", ["apple  "; "apple juice"; "an apple"], "exact")
##      @result{} [1]
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @strong{Caution:} @code{strmatch} is obsolete (and can produce incorrect
## results in @sc{matlab} when used with cell arrays of strings.  Use
## @code{strncmp} (normal case) or @code{strcmp} (@qcode{"exact"} case) in all
## new code.  Other replacement possibilities, depending on application,
## include @code{regexp} or @code{validatestring}.
## @seealso{strncmp, strcmp, regexp, strfind, validatestring}
