How to find a substring within a miscellaneous cell array?
显示 更早的评论
Hello
I need to search for a specifig substring within a cell array of different types. Below it is an example.
>> impact_factor(3,:)
ans =
1×8 cell array
Columns 1 through 5
{'Rank'} {'FullJournalTitle'} {'Total Cites'} {[NaN]} {'Journal Impact …'}
Columns 6 through 8
{'Eigenfactor Score'} {[NaN]} {[NaN]}
if I use the full string, the solution could be something like
find(strcmp('FullJournalTitle',impact_factor(3,:)))
However if I try to search for substring such as 'Full' and using either strfind or contains, an error comes out.
Many thanks
Ed

Alternatively, string can convert numerics...
>> contains(string(C),"Full")
ans =
1×8 logical array
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0

Is a handy feature albeit at the cost of introducing yet another cast. The penchant for the other string functions to return empty or to not be able to handle non-string inputs has always made such lookups a real hassle to work around. Is highly prevalent situation in reading data from spreadsheets and the like that seems, unfortunately, more and more ubiquitous to have to deal with...
