To filter text in a MATLAB cell, you can use logical indexing or the built-in functions like contains, strcmp, or strfind. You can create a logical index to filter out the text that meets specific criteria or use functions to search for specific patterns or strings within the cell. By applying these methods, you can efficiently extract and manage the text data in the cell array based on your requirements.

How to count the occurrences of each word in text in a MATLAB cell?
You can count the occurrences of each word in a text stored in a MATLAB cell array by following these steps:
- Convert the cell array into a single string using the strjoin function:
1 2 |
text = {'This is a sample text', 'with some words repeated', 'words words words'}; text_str = strjoin(text, ' '); |
- Tokenize the string into individual words using split function:
1
|
words = split(text_str, ' ');
|
- Use the unique function to get a list of unique words and the histc function to count the occurrences of each word:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
unique_words = unique(words); word_counts = zeros(size(unique_words)); for i = 1:numel(unique_words) word_counts(i) = sum(ismember(words, unique_words{i})); end |
- Display the unique words and their respective counts:
1 2 3 |
for i = 1:numel(unique_words) fprintf('%s: %d\n', unique_words{i}, word_counts(i)); end |
This code will output the unique words in the text along with the number of times each word appears.
How to extract numbers from text in a MATLAB cell?
To extract numbers from text in a MATLAB cell, you can use regular expressions. Here's an example code to extract numbers from a cell array of strings:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
% Cell array of strings textCell = {'abc 123 def'; 'ghi 456 jkl'; 'mno 789 pqr'}; % Regular expression pattern to match numbers pattern = '(\d+)'; % Initialize an empty cell array to store the extracted numbers numbersCell = cell(size(textCell)); % Loop through each string in the cell array for i = 1:numel(textCell) % Extract numbers from the current string using regexp numbers = regexp(textCell{i}, pattern, 'tokens'); % Convert extracted numbers from cell array of strings to array of numbers numbers = str2double([numbers{:}]); % Store the extracted numbers in the numbersCell array numbersCell{i} = numbers; end % Display the extracted numbers disp(numbersCell); |
In this code, we first define a cell array of strings textCell. Then, we define a regular expression pattern (\d+) to match numbers in the strings. We loop through each string in the cell array, use the regexp function to extract numbers, convert the extracted numbers from a cell array of strings to an array of numbers using str2double, and store the extracted numbers in another cell array numbersCell. Finally, we display the extracted numbers.
How to find and replace text in a MATLAB cell?
To find and replace text in a MATLAB cell array, you can use a combination of cellfun and strrep functions. Here's an example code demonstrating how to do this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
% Create a cell array cellArray = {'apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'kiwi'}; % Define the text to find and replace textToFind = 'a'; textToReplace = 'e'; % Find and replace text in the cell array newCellArray = cellfun(@(x) strrep(x, textToFind, textToReplace), cellArray, 'UniformOutput', false); % Display the original and modified cell array disp('Original cell array:') disp(cellArray) disp('Modified cell array:') disp(newCellArray) |
In this code, we first create a cell array 'cellArray' with some strings. Next, we define the text to find ('textToFind') and the text to replace it with ('textToReplace'). We then use the cellfun function along with an anonymous function to iterate over each element in the cell array and replace the text using the strrep function. The 'UniformOutput' option is set to false to indicate that the output should be a cell array. Finally, we display the original and modified cell arrays.
You can customize this code based on your specific requirements for finding and replacing text in a MATLAB cell array.
