MATLAB: Deleting sepecific character from cell array

Question

Hi Helpers,

I have a cell array in which some cell has " that I would like to delete such as, '"22000' or '"contig_2012'. (I want it as '22000' or 'contig_2012')

Will be great if you could help me to delete all of them from the cell.

Thanks, Shilo

This sounds like a job for a regular expression (albeit a simple one)

x = {'"22000'; '"contig_2012'; 'abc'};
regexprep(x, '"', '')
