function [varargout] = strncmp(varargin)
%STRNCMP Compare first N characters of strings.
%   STRNCMP(S1,S2,N) returns logical 1 (true) if the first N characters of
%   the strings S1 and S2 are the same and logical 0 (false) otherwise.
%
%   TF = STRNCMP(S,T,N), when either S or T is a cell array of strings,
%   returns an array the same size as S and T containing logical 1 (true) 
%   for those elements of S and T that match (up to N characters), and 
%   logical 0 (false) otherwise.  S and T must be the same size (or one 
%   can be a scalar cell).  Either one can also be a character array 
%   with the right number of rows.
%
%   STRNCMP supports international character sets.
%
%   See also STRCMP, STRNCMPI, FINDSTR, STRMATCH, REGEXP.
