How to delete the colon's in a matrix?

Hi;

I have a data in the form of :

1,2:8

1,3:3

1,4:3

1,5:2

1,6:5

Is there an easy way to remove the colons and have the form below?

1,2,8

1,3,3

1,4,3

1,5,2

1,6,5

I have many many rows like that and I am looking for a quick way if possible...

Regards...

Why not just find-and-replace using any text editor?

Thanks very much. Sometimes I try to solve everything in Matlab... I correct it in a Word file and paste to the m.file...

Thank you very much!!

If you have strings or a cell array of strings, you could use

regexp(TheData, ':', ',')

I have the data only. when I paste it to th m.file it is shown as I wrote before.. How can I convert it to strings? I want to have a matrix at the end like:

[1,2,8

1,3,3

1,4,3

....]

Is the data stored as strings in a cell array?

C = {'1,6:3','2,5:3','99,103:4'}
C2 = strrep(C,':',',')
