Need to find rows with specific strings

4 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am pulling data in from an excel file and need to check which rows contain a specific string of text
data =7150x1 string
I need to know which rows contain 'xyz'
strfind() returns Search term must be a text or pattern scalar
Contains returns just a 0

If you have any more questions, then attach your data and code to read it in with the paperclip icon after you read this:

As mentioned, unless we have the file to test what happens, it is difficult to suggest anything.
Please share the file you are working with. Use the paperclip button to attach.
Edit -
"Contains returns just a 0 "
@Charles, Could you elaborate on this? Does it return just a 0? Or all 7150 values are 0?

mask = contains(data, 'what you are looking for');
selected_data = data(mask);
