MATLAB: Result of strfind

str2funcstrings

Hi,

I'm using strfind function and I want to check the result of this function. However, when strfind doesn't find the string that I indicated and the result is {[]}, instead of the position value. I have tested the result of strfind with strcmp and == or ~= but I can't control the value.

How can I know whether value of strfind is {[]}?

Regards

a={[]}
isempty(a{:})  %1 if a is empty, 0 otherwise

another option

numel(a{:}) %0 if a is empty, it returns the number of elements of a

Maybe like this:

Data  = rand(7, 25);  % Example data, actually 177x25
Names = {'A 123', 'A 123', 'B 456', 'A 123', 'B 456', 'B456', 'A 123'};
A123 = strcmp(Names, 'A123');
B456 = ~A123;
Set1 = Data(A123, :)
Set2 = Data(B456, :)
