Indexing a cell, ignoring empty inputs?

I have a cell that looks like this:
'GS_L' 'OECF' 'DYNAMIC_RANGE'
'GS_R' 'OECF' 'DYNAMIC_RANGE'
'GS_U' 'OECF' 'DYNAMIC_RANGE'
'GS_D' 'OECF' 'DYNAMIC_RANGE'
'HOR_B' 'UNIFORMITY' '0'
'HOR_W' 'UNIFORMITY' '0'
'HOR_G' 'UNIFORMITY' '0'
'VER_B' 'UNIFORMITY' '0'
'VER_W' 'UNIFORMITY' '0'
'VER_G' 'UNIFORMITY' '0'
I want to take the first row of the cell that have the word OECF in it.
So I apply this:
OECFINDEX = strfind(measureables,'OECF');
Which gives:
[] [1] []
[] [1] []
[] [1] []
[] [1] []
[] [] []
[] [] []
[] [] []
[] [] []
[] [] []
[] [] []
Now I do this:
OECFMES = measureables(find([OECFINDEX{:}] == 1)',1);
Which gives me:
'GS_L'
'GS_R'
'GS_U'
'GS_D'
Now, this seems to be working but when I try it for UNIFORMITY,
UNIFORMITYMES = measureables(find([UNIFORMITYINDEX{:}] == 1)',1);
It shows:
'GS_L'
'GS_R'
'GS_U'
'GS_D'
'HOR_B'
'HOR_W'
Instead of
'HOR_B'
'HOR_W'
'HOR_G'
'VER_B'
'VER_W'
'VER_G'
Does it ignore empty cell inputs? Or what is going on, and is there a way to fix this?
Kind regards,

Hi Thomas,
yes it does. Do you really look for OECF in each string, or do you want to compare to OECF? For your example at least, the following works better:
UNIFORMITYINDEX = strcmp(measureables(:,2), 'UNIFORMITY')
measureables(UNIFORMITYINDEX, 1)
ans =
'HOR_B'
'HOR_W'
'HOR_G'
'VER_B'
'VER_W'
'VER_G'
Note, that I used strcmp instead of strfind. Don't know if that fit's only this example, though...
If strmatch is indeed the right function, use cellfun:
measureables(~cellfun(@isempty, UNIFORMITYINDEX(:,2)), 1)

Hey Titus,
Thanks for the quick anser! This is exactly what im looking for :D and it's working great!
Could I maybe ask you some other questions in this topic aswell?
Kind regards
Yes, of course. But I would start a new thread.
Titus
Ok I did that!
Thanks again.
