yourNumber is overwritten in the loop and only the last value is saved. The first step to fix your code is
yourNumber = cell( length(fs_indices), 1 );
for i = 1 : length(fs_indices)
yourNumber{i} = somestring{i}(underscore_indices(i)+2:your_number(i)-1);
end
There are other ways, e.g. with regular expressions
>> str = '18WABO1-12345-0X';
>> regexp( str, '(?<=18W)[^\-]+(?=\-)', 'match' )
ans =
'ABO1'
and
cac = {
'18WABO1-12345-0X'
'18WABO2-12345-0N'
'18WACE3-12345-00'
'18WACE4-12345-0R'
'18WAGUG-12345-0G'
'18WDUER-12345-0N' };
%
out = regexp( cac, '(?<=18W).+?(?=\-)', 'match' );
out = cat( 1, out{:} );
and
>> out
out =
'ABO1'
'ABO2'
'ACE3'
'ACE4'
'AGUG'
'DUER'
and with indexing
>> str = char( cac );
>> str = str( :, 4:7 )
str =
ABO1
ABO2
ACE3
ACE4
AGUG
DUER
>>
