I want to find the strings from an cell array (m x n)
and add those identified strings in new cell array (m x n)
, by using matlab, for example:
Human(i,1)={0
1
34
eyes_two
55
33
ears_two
nose_one
mouth_one
631
49
Tounge_one}
I want to remove the numbers and have just strings
New_Human(i,1)={eyes_two
ears_two
nose_one
mouth_one
tounge_one}
Based on your comment it sounds like all your data is being stored as strings. In that case you can use the following method to remove all strings which represent a valid number.
H = {'0'; '1'; '34'; 'eyes_two'; '55'; '33'; 'ears_two'; 'nose_one'; 'mouth_one'; '631'; '49'; 'Tounge_one'};
idx = cellfun(@(x)isnan(str2double(x)), H);
Hstr = H(idx)
Output
Hstr =
'eyes_two'
'ears_two'
'nose_one'
'mouth_one'
'Tounge_one'
The code determines which strings do not represent valid numeric values. This is accomplished by checking if the str2double
function returns a NaN
result on each string. If you want to understand more about how this works I suggest you read the documentation on cellfun
.
