how to remove comma from certain items only from cell array with several items

25 次查看(过去 30 天)
hey all, i'am new to matlab and i have a query. i have a single cell array as following:
charstring={'"98,786","103,630","95,758","99,871","106,916",494,361,"92,793","81,741","79,919","79,919",999,989,999'}
this has some items in quotes and others without quotes. what i need to do is remove the ,(comma) character from only those numbers which are between quotes. so my final answer should look like:
charstring={'"98786","103630","95758","99871","106916",494,361,"92793","81741","79919","79919",999,989,999'}
i have tried all combination of strrep replaceBetween regexprep but could not get my head around this question. any help on this matter would be highly appreciated. thanks, azim

This is easy with regexprep:
>> str = {'"98,786","103,630","95,758","99,871","106,916",494,361,"92,793","81,741","79,919","79,919",999,989,999'};
>> out = regexprep(str,'("\d+),(\d+")','$1$2')
out =
"98786","103630","95758","99871","106916",494,361,"92793","81741","79919","79919",999,989,999

regular expression is like any other language (programming or otherwise). If you don't know it, it looks and sounds like gibberish. If you do know it, then it's easy to understand. Certainly, Stephen's expression here is very low on the complexity scale of regular expressions. It's only two capture groups each consisting of digits and " and separated by a comma. Yet, it does the job perfectly.

C = {['"98,786","103,630","95,758","99,871","106,916",494,361,"92,793",', ...
"81,741","79,919","79,919",999,989,999']}
D = strsplit(C{1}, ',');
quoted = strncmp(D, '"', 1);
D(quoted) = strrep(D(quoted), ',', ''); % [EDITED] Typos
Str = sprintf('%s,', D{:});
CleanC = {Str(1:length(Str)-1)}; % remove trailing comma
