Hi, I want to do a search only for the first n times. But it seems the 'options' in regexp can only do 'once' or 'all'. no intermediate choice, say '5', huh? thanks a lot!

(pattern){5}
In some cases what you might be after more might be
N = 5; %times to match
Rexpat = [ repmat( ['(' pattern '[).*?]', 1, N-1), ')' ];
regexp(string, Rexpat)

There should be a 3rd param. 'once' in the call to REGEXP, to avoid getting multiple matches if there are multiple times N occurrences of the initial pattern.
@Anthony: I would profile both the Rexmat pattern and the original pattern, because reducing the number of matches by increasing the complexity of the pattern doesn't always lead to an increase in performance. It's quite the opposite in fact.

Perhaps you want strfind():
A='I have a dream have a dream have a dream bla bla bla...';
indexes = strfind(A, 'dream') % Find all locations.
indexes = indexes(1:5); % Take first 5 only.
In the command window:
indexes =
10 23 36

There's an old saying on how to write and speak: "Never say "Blah, blah, blah" when "Blah" will do. ;-)
