finding all the other elements of a cell vector apart from zeros and empties

Dear all,

I want to find all the elements of a cell vector apart from zeros and empties Using the command

ismember(mm,setdiff(mm,'0' ))

I find all the elements apart from zeroes. But I want to find all the elements apart from zeroes AND empty cells. Note mm is a cell of dimension 1000 by 1

thanks

can you post a small snipet of 'mm'. You say it is a cell but does it contain numbers and characters or just numbers..

Answer 1

mm( ~ cellfun( @(C) isempty(C) || (ischar(C) && strcmp(C, '0')), mm ) )

thank you walter. It works. the only problem is that I need to combine this criterion with others like

mm( ~ cellfun( @(C) isempty(C) || (ischar(C) && strcmp(C, '0')), mm ) ) & strcmp(mdata1(:,6),'b1')

in which case your code does not work

[antonet]

Any suggestions?

mm( ~ cellfun( @(C) isempty(C) || (ischar(C) && strcmp(C, '0')), mm ) & strcmp(mdata1(:,6),'b1') )
