MATLAB: How to extract information from cell

cellextract data

Hello

Well , i have a file which is a cell 47×1. In one of the rows have Lastname=Ahlers I only need Ahlers.The other case is when i have character +numbers, here I have dimension=2 only I need 2,other example is CollX=-5.9 only i need -5.9.

Any idea would be really appreciated guys thanks

Ah I dont know the last name or any data from the file. The idea would be to get the name or value. I need the values (numbers) to run my code,they are parameters inside of my code. Each file is a different patient and each patient has different values.

use strfind to find the equal sign and then extract out the data to the right hand side of the equals, i.e.

NEWVAR = str2num(YOURCELL{YOUR_INDEX}(strfind ( YOURCELL{YOUR_INDEX}, '=' )+1:end))

in this case: you have a string "CollX=-5.9"

YOURCELL{1} = 'CollX=-5.9'
NEWVAR = str2num(YOURCELL{1}(strfind ( YOURCELL{1}, '=' )+1:end))

What about:

axes('NextPlot', 'add');  % or : hold('oll')
h = gobject(1, n);
for k = 1:n
   h(k) = plot3(coll{k}(:,1), coll{k}(:,2), coll{k}(:,3));
end

MATLAB: How to find a specific string in a text file and delete that row

Look at the help for fgetl(). Just open the file, read line by line, for each line, use strfind() or strcmpi() to check the line against your template, and if it's not the template, write it out to another file. Then you can delete the first file and rename the output file the same as your original input file. Come back with your code if you still have problems, but at least give it a try yourself - like I said, the help has sample code for you.
