function [text, wasp] = mstrrep(text, pats, reps, varargin)
% mstrrep  - replace multiple patterns (multi strrep)
%
% FORMAT:       text = mstrrep(text, patterns, replaces [, rx])
%
% Input fields:
%
%       text        string to be patched
%       patterns    1xN cell array with patterns
%       replaces    1xN (or 1x1) cell array with replacement strings
%       rx          if given and true, use regexprep
%
% Output fields:
%
%       text        patched string
%       waspatched  string altered flag (convenience only, calls strcmp)
%
% Note: regexprep is called with 'ignorecase' and 'tokenize' options.
