Hey @Jaber Gharib, in the code you have provided each time when you see a match you are overrding previous value instead of appending it, below i have attached an similiar example where I will be appending the values
species{1} = [0.86 1.27 1.23];
species{2} = [1.4];
species{3} = [4.32 3.49 1.33 1.02 0.83];
species{4} = [8.87 6.89 6.78 6.74 6.72 3.73];
species{5} = [8.87 6.89 6.78 6.74 6.72 3.73];
type{1} = {'aliphatic', 'aliphatic', 'aliphatic'};
type{2} = {'cycloalkene'};
type{3} = {'aliphaticOH', 'alcoholethyl', 'aliphatic', 'aliphatic', 'aliphatic'};
type{4} = {'ArOH', 'aromaticH', 'aromaticH', 'aromaticH', 'aromaticH', 'ArOCH3'};
type{5} = {'ArOH', 'aromaticH', 'aromaticH', 'aromaticH', 'aromaticH', 'ArOCH3'};
% Initialize group variables
Phenols = [];
Alcohols = [];
Alkanes = [];
for iC = 1:5
if ismember('ArOH', type{iC})
parent{iC} = 'Phenols';
Phenols = [Phenols, species{iC}];
elseif ismember('aliphaticOH', type{iC})
parent{iC} = 'Alcohols';
Alcohols = [Alcohols, species{iC}];
elseif ismember('cycloalkene', type{iC})
parent{iC} = 'Alkanes';
Alkanes = [Alkanes, species{iC}];
elseif ismember('aliphatic', type{iC})
parent{iC} = 'Alkanes';
Alkanes = [Alkanes, species{iC}];
else
parent{iC} = 'unknown';
end
end
% Display results
disp('Phenols:');
disp(Phenols);
disp('Alcohols:');
disp(Alcohols);
disp('Alkanes:');
disp(Alkanes);
Hope it helps.
