Thread Subject: cells delete empty entries

Hallo,

I have the following problem with a cell construct:


hilfe =

  Columns 1 through 4

     [] [] 'IPF22252.1' 'IPF11815.2'

  Column 5 through 8

     'Contig4-2494_0015' [] 'CA1232' []

 Column 8

     []

Now I want to delete the empty cells. I tried it with the
command isempty in cooperation with an if-construct. But it
does not work.
My aim is such cell construct:

result =

  Columns 1 through 3

     'IPF22252.1' 'IPF11815.2' 'Contig4-2494_0015'
   

  Column 4

     'CA1232'

Thanks, Corinna

Try this example

a = {1 2 [] 4 [] 5}

a =

    [1] [2] [] [4] [] [5]


a(cellfun(@isempty,a)) = []

a =

    [1] [2] [4] [5]

c = {3 [] 2 [] 4:5 'q' []}
result = c(~cellfun('isempty',c))

Hallo,

> a(cellfun(@isempty,a)) = []

Thanks it works.

Have a nice weekend, Corinna
