MATLAB: Filter a cell array with words

filter words cell array

Hi,

assume you have the cell array{1,1} with a text called "XXXX-adsaads". I want the the portion -adsaads to be removed so that I only get XXXX. How can I do this?

trimedcell = regexprep(YourCellArray, '-.*', '', 'once');

This will work, but no guarantee that it will easily generalise to more complicated situations:

name(1,1) = {'Italy'};
name(2,1) = {'Rome, Italy'};
x = findstr(name{2},',');
y = name{2}(1:x-1)

produces:

y =
Rome

This is only one way (and probably the simplest). There are many others.
