Delete rows in cell that contain part of string

31 views (last 30 days)
I have an Nx2 cell (mixes of strings and doubles) that I'm trying to clean up (rawdata). Specifically, I am trying to delete all rows with ">" in the first column. My code below is deleting those rows, but it is reshaping the cell as an Mx1 cell (data1). I'm not sure where the error is. Thanks for any help.
rawdata = textscan(fid, '%s %s' , 'HeaderLines', 7);
rawdata = [rawdata{:}];
data1 = rawdata(cellfun(@(s)isempty(regexp(s,'>')),rawdata));

Cell(strcmp(Cell(:,1),'>'),:)=[]

Below works, but perhaps is not the most elegant code.
rawdata = textscan(fid, '%s %s' , 'HeaderLines', 7);
fclose all;
rawdata = [rawdata{:}];
idx = strfind(rawdata(:,1),'>');
tf = cellfun('isempty', idx);
tf = [tf tf];
data1 = rawdata(tf);
data1 = reshape(data1,[length(data1)/2, 2]);
