data acquisitionData Acquisition Toolboxmachine learningstatisticsStatistics and Machine Learning Toolbox

Hi,
I have a cell matrix:
 '56' 'mat find false' '89 mm' 'mat 96 kl'
I want to split:
  1. 'mat find false' –> 'mat' 'find false' (one cell to two cells)
  2. 'mat 96 kl' –>'mat' '96 kl'
desired Output:
 '56' 'mat' 'find false' '89 mm' 'mat' '96 kl'
Many thanks in advance,

Or regexp-based: if
 C = {'56', 'mat find false', '89 mm', 'mat 96 kl'} ;
then
 result = regexp(C, '(mat)?\s?(.*)', 'tokens', 'once') ;
 result = [result{:}] ;
 result(cellfun(@isempty, result)) = [] ;
outputs:
 result =
  1×6 cell array
    '56'    'mat'    'find false'    '89 mm'    'mat'    '96 kl'
