Details:

On Octave

a = { 'dfr' 'tgh' 'rere' 'rere' }

b = strmatch('rere', a, 'exact')

b = [ 3 4 ]

On Matlab

b = [ 3 4 ]'

Even though strmatch is marked as soon to be deprecated in Matlab, it is not
going anywhere based on our Matlab contact (and also complaints from our team
and others) as the alternatives create problems. 

Compatibility with Matlab is important for our users and the current
difference create bugs.
