Probably not the fastest way...
function C = dedupeCell(C)
s = repmat(true,length(C),1);
for i = 1:length(C)
for j = 1:i-1
if strcmp(C{i},C{j})
s(i) = false;
end
end
end
C = C(s);
end
Results in:
>> C= {'the best', 'work fast', 'the best', 'come fast', 'forget', 'tension', 'forget', 'come fast'};
>> dedupeCell(C)
ans =
'the best' 'work fast' 'come fast' 'forget' 'tension'
Please take the time to put accurate code in your question (your cell definition is missing a quote, and is closed with a parenthesis).
