    No equivalent

## Particular cases

There is no equivalent for findstr in Scilab, but an emulation function has been written: mtlb_findstr. Scilab strindex function is very similar to findstr but do not consider the size of the strings passed as parameters. strindex can replace findstr only if findstr can be replaced by strfind in Matlab.
