Finding valid sequences in a list based on specific conditions in matlab

I have a list of scores represented as a cell array in MATLAB, and I need to extract valid sequences from this list based on certain conditions. The scores can be one of three stages: 'Rain', 'Cloud', or 'Sun'.
The conditions for a valid sequence are as follows:
For a sequence of 'Sun' stages, the sequence must have a length of at least 7.
For a sequence of 'Rain' or 'Cloud' stages, the sequence must have a length of at least 7, and all stages within the sequence must be either 'Rain' or 'Cloud'.
I have tried implementing the following code, but it does not provide the correct results for all cases:
scores = {'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Rain'};
sequence_start = 1;
num_scores = numel(scores);
valid_sequences = [];
for j = 1:num_scores
stage = scores{j};
if strcmp(stage, 'Sun')
sequence_length = j - sequence_start + 1;
if sequence_length >= 7
valid_sequences = [valid_sequences; sequence_start, j];
end
elseif ismember(stage, {'Cloud', 'Rain', 'Thunder'})
sequence_length = j;
if sequence_length >= 7 && all(ismember(scores(sequence_start:j), {'Cloud', 'Rain', 'Thunder'}))
valid_sequences = [valid_sequences; sequence_start, j];
end
sequence_start = j + 1; % Reset sequence_start
else
sequence_start = j; % Reset sequence_start
end
end
if (num_scores - sequence_start + 1) >= 7
valid_sequences = [valid_sequences; sequence_start, num_scores];
end
this gives me the results valid_sequences = 3, 9 which is correct (Sun starts at position 3 and ends at position 9).
However, when I put the following test cases in:
test 1:
scores = {'Rain' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Sun' 'Cloud' 'Rain'};
I get the answer valid_sequences = 9,9
test 2:
scores = {'Sun' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Thunder' 'Sun'};
valid_sequences =
7 7
8 8
9 9
Which suggests there seems to be something wrong with how the Rain/Cloud/Thunder gets read in after Sun.
I would be very grateful if you could help!

See if the results are what you expect (if not please explain why)
getvalidseq({'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Rain'})
ans = 1×2
3 9
getvalidseq({'Rain' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Sun' 'Cloud' 'Rain'})
ans = 0×2 empty double matrix
getvalidseq({'Sun' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Thunder' 'Sun'})
ans = 1×2
2 9
function valid_sequences = getvalidseq(scores)
b = [true; diff(ismember(scores(:), {'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Thunder'})); true];
i = find(b);
n = diff(i);
j = find(n>=7);
valid_sequences = [i(j) i(j+1)-1];
end

OK this should do it.
getvalidseq({'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Sun' 'Rain'})
ans = 1×2
3 9
getvalidseq({'Rain' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Sun' 'Cloud' 'Rain'})
ans = 2×2
1 6 8 9
getvalidseq({'Sun' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Thunder' 'Sun'})
ans = 1×2
2 9
function valid_sequences = getvalidseq(scores)
b = [true; diff(ismember(scores(:), {'Rain' 'Cloud' 'Thunder'})); true];
i = find(b);
n = diff(i);
nn = size(n,1);
j1 = (1:2:nn)';
j2 = (2:2:nn)';
jj = {j1, j2};
jj = jj(cellfun(@(j) sum(n(j)), jj) >= 7);
j = cat(1,jj{:});
valid_sequences = [i(j) i(j+1)-1];
end
PS: I reread your original question and you never state the merge thing. I'm notorious here to dislike when people asking incompete question, or change the request during the thread is developping.
