I would need to delete empty strings contained in N x 1 string arrays (N is variable) which are contained in a cell array theirself.
mycellArray is a 3×1 cell array and is made up of string arrays of variable dimensions:
  • mycellArray{1} is a 49×1 string array
  • mycellArray{2} is a 22×1 string array
  • mycellArray{3} is a 35×1 string array
mycellArray{1} looks like:
How can I delete just the empty rows "" and let the written text?
Thanks in advance!

Wanted = arrayfun(@(y)cellfun(@(x) x(~(x=="")), c{y},'un', 0),1:numel(c)).' % c your cell array

First of all thanks for the answer. I think the direction is good.
However, what I get if I type Wanted{1} is
Wanted{1}
ans =
49×1 cell array
{0×0 char}
{0×0 char}
{0×0 char}
{'S' }
{0×0 char}
{0×0 char}
{'9' }
{0×0 char}
{'9' }
{0×0 char}
{0×0 char}
{'9' }
I would like Wanted to be again a cell array of string arrays(just like % c your cell array).
For example, what I look for is Wanted{1} to be a 49x1 string array with NOT only the first character of every row (as you can see on the 4th row I just got 'S'), but I need the whole line of text. And of course I don't need the empty lines.
Thanks

% Logical array, true when element in cell is empty
vb = cellfun(@isempty, MyCell)
% Remove empty element
MyCell = MyCell(~vb)

Thanks for your answer, but my purpose is to delete empty strings contained in each string array of the cell.
Your suggest is to delete empty cells, but I have no empty cell, just empty strings ("") within string arrays which are part of a cell array.
Hope to be clear.
