MATLAB: Splitting Cell Arrays by Delimiter

Question

So I have a large data set stored in a 4699×1 cell. Each row has a different number of string items separate by commas. Is there any way to count how many items there are in each row? For example, with these rows, I would like a 4699×1 cell that is 3,4,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,1,4,etc…

Answer 1

Try this:

s = {'qwerty,uiop'; 'asdf,ghjkl,zxcvb'};
for k1 = 1:size(s,1)
r(k1) = numel(strsplit(s{k1}, ','));
end
Out = r                                             % View Results (Delete)

producing:

Out =
     2     3     

Experiment to get the result you want.
