Cell array Filtering when using readlines

Hello, after I have read an array from a piece of equipment
writeline(s,command); pause(0.02);
data='N/A';
nb=s.NumBytesAvailable
data={}; ct=0;
while nb>0
ct=ct+1;
d = readline(s)
data{ct,1}=d;
end
data
I get this:
data =
884×1 cell array
{[" 190 190.03 190.06 190.09 190.12 190.15 190.18 190.21"]}
{[" 190.24 190.27 190.3 190.33 190.36 -999 -999 -999"]}
{[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999"]}
{[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999"]}
{[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999"]}
...
{[" 190.24 190.27 190.3 190.33 190.36 -999 -999 -999"]}
{[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999" ]}
...
{["-1.38866E-009 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999" ]}
{[" -999 -999 -999" ]}
{[":"
I want to remove any line that doesn't have just -999 as all the values, so I tried modifing to this:
writeline(s,command); pause(0.02);
data='N/A';
nb=s.NumBytesAvailable
data={}; ct=0; idx=0;
while nb>0
ct=ct+1;
d = readline(s)
if d~=[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999"]
idx=idx+1;
data{idx,1}=d;
end
nb=s.NumBytesAvailable
end
data
and this nearly gives me what I want
data =
11×1 cell array
{[" 190 190.03 190.06 190.09 190.12 190.15 190.18 190.21"]}
{[" 190.24 190.27 190.3 190.33 190.36 -999 -999 -999"]}
{[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999" ]}
{[" -0.999999 -1 -1 -1 -1.00001 -1.00001 -1.00001 -1.00001"]}
{[" -1.00002 -1.00002 -1.00002 -1.00003 -1.00003 -999 -999 -999"]}
{[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999" ]}
{["-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009" ]}
{["-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009" ]}
{["-1.38866E-009 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999" ]}
{[" -999 -999 -999" ]}
{[":" ]}
How can I also get rid of these line entries:
{[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999" ]}
{[" -999 -999 -999" ]}
{[":" ]}
Thanks for any help

Do not store lots of scalar strings in a cell array, doing so makes processing them harder:
S = [" 190 190.03 190.06 190.09 190.12 190.15 190.18 190.21"; " 190.24 190.27 190.3 190.33 190.36 -999 -999 -999"; " -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999"; " -0.999999 -1 -1 -1 -1.00001 -1.00001 -1.00001 -1.00001"; " -1.00002 -1.00002 -1.00002 -1.00003 -1.00003 -999 -999 -999"; " -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999"; "-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009"; "-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009-1.38866E-009"; "-1.38866E-009 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999"; " -999 -999 -999"; ":"]
S = 11x1 string array

X = cellfun(@isempty,regexp(S,'^(\s+-999)+|:$','once'));
Z = S(X)
Z = 7x1 string array

Thankyou Stephen, could you explain each of the regexp parts please?
I've also just realised that your S is different to my 'd'. I only get one line at a time

"could you explain each of the regexp parts please?"
'^(\s+-999)+|:$'
%^ match start of text
% ( )+ group match one or more times
% \s+ match one more more whitespace characters
% -999 match literal "-999"
% | or
% : match literal colon
% $ match end of text

"I've also just realised that your S is different to my 'd'. I only get one line at a time"
I assumed that you wanted to filter the entire array after the loop. You can also apply the REGEXP to one single line of text, in which case you might want to use e.g. IF rather than indexing:
d = " 190 190.03 190.06 190.09 190.12 190.15 190.18 190.21";
isempty(regexp(d,'^(\s+-999)+|:$','once'))
ans = logical
1
d = " -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999";
isempty(regexp(d,'^(\s+-999)+|:$','once'))
ans = logical
0

Try something like this —
% data =
% 884×1 cell array
data = { ...
{[" 190 190.03 190.06 190.09 190.12 190.15 190.18 190.21"]}
{[" 190.24 190.27 190.3 190.33 190.36 -999 -999 -999"]}
{[" -999 -999 -999 -999 -999 -999" ]}
{[" -0.999999 -1 -1 -1 -1.00001 -1.00001 -1.00001 -1.00001"]}
