MATLAB: Can i delete part of a cell array based on a condition

Question

if i have a cell array such as {'CGU'} {'UUU'} {'UAG'} {'GGU'} can i

identify if there is a member of {'UAA','UAG','UGA'} and delete the

remaining elements? eg, leaving {'CGU'} {'UUU'} once {'UAG'} is identified.

Answer 1

E.g.,

>> C = {'CGU','UUU','UAG','GGU'}
C =
  1×4 cell array
    {'CGU'}    {'UUU'}    {'UAG'}    {'GGU'}
>> X = {'UAA','UAG','UGA'}
X =
  1×3 cell array
    {'UAA'}    {'UAG'}    {'UGA'}
>> f = find(ismember(C,X),1)
f =
     3
>> C(f+1:end) = []
C =
  1×3 cell array
    {'CGU'}    {'UUU'}    {'UAG'}
