How to search for an exact string not just contains

246 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hiyah
I'm searching a cell array for an exact string, e.g the data I am searching contains both 'Las Vegas, NV' and 'North Las Vegas, NV' and I want specifically the coordinats of 'Las Vegas, NV'
the code I've used so far is:
Y = ~cellfun('isempty',strfind(cellstr(num),'Las Vegas, NV'));
(then [row col] = find(Y==1) )
how do I modify?
Thanks alot !

Use strcmp instead, which checks for identical matches.
loc = {'Las Vegas, NV','North Las Vegas, NV'};
match = strcmp(loc,'Las Vegas, NV')

well i'm not sure how to implement it. my task is finding directions between arbitary cities, a and b.
i've done the stage of calulated the coordinates and then get these to navigate to the right place in the table of the data which gives the distance. my code has passsed the test for random cities who's string is such that one does not contain another. but i have came across this problem for the case of las vegas and las vegas north as in the original post. For e.g in arbritary language so far is:
function[distance] = get_distance(a,b)
[words,num,raw]=xlsread('Distances.xlsx');
X = ~cellfun('isempty',strfind(cellstr(num),a));
Y = ~cellfun('isempty',strfind(cellstr(num),b));
[row col] = find(X==1);
[r c]=find(Y==1);
a1=row(1);
a2=col(1);
a=[a1 a2]
b1=r(2)
b2=c(2)
b=[b1 b2]
c=[(a1+1),(b1+1)]
distance=raw{c(1),c(2)}
end
many thanks

X = ismember((num),a));
1 1 0
2 -1
Count your open brackets.
