searching cell array of strings
Show older comments
Is there a way to use the 'find' function or something like it to search a cell array of strings for a particular string and return it's location in the cell array?

And: find(strcmp(string, cellstring))

Or maybe strfind(), regexp();
C = {'hello' 'yes' 'no' 'goodbye'};
S='ye';
Found=strfind(C,S);
Ind=~cellfun('isempty',Found);
C(Ind)
