Splitting an array into variable lengths depending on it's content

I have an array containing S sections of data that I need to extract and create S new arrays each containing one of those sections. The start of each section has the string 'E0=' and is followed by the data I need (though this amount varies between section). i.e. if there are N elements, strf{2} is a cell

strf{2} = [E0= 5 614 82 97 E0= 91 44 7 E0= 54 774 624 6339 4 1...]

So far I have found each element of the array where 'E0=' is using this code:

dEpres = strcmp(strf{2}, 'E0=');
S = sum(dEpres);
dEelems = find(dEpres, S);

Such that dEelems = [1 6 10 ...].

What I want to do now is split this array into n arrays at the elements where 'E=0' is so I have:

array1 = [E0= 5 614 82 97] array2 = [E0= 91 44] array3 = [E0= 54 774 624 6339 4 1]

I have tried to use some sort of for loop to generate array(i) where i=1:S but haven't been successful.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks, Matt

If str = 'E0= 5 614 82 97 E0= 91 44 7 E0=54 774 624 6339 4 1...'

[matchstart,~,~,~,tokenstring,~,~] = regexp( str, 'E0=\s|E0=', 'split')

matchstart = 
  ''    '5 614 82 97 '    '91 44 7 '    '54 774 624 6339 4 1...'

tokenstring = 
  'E0= '    'E0= '    'E0='

matchstart(1) = []

cellfun(@horzcat, tokenstring, matchstart, 'un', 0)

ans = 
  'E0= 5 614 82 97 '    'E0= 91 44 7 '    'E0=54 774 624 6339 4 1...'
