Hi!
So you already imported your data into matlab? What kind of matrix do you have? Is it a cell array with strings in the first column? What is in the third column?
If you have a cell array "C" with strings in the first column, you may find the user input "str" with
% logical vector of found strings
tf = strcmp(str, C(:, 1));
% do we have something?
if ~isempty(tf)
% positions (rows) in C
ind = find(tf);
% average for each found string
for n = 1:length(ind)
% this depends on the kind of matrix you have
mean([C{ind(n):ind(n)+20}])
end
end
