Using regexp to extract data
2 views (last 30 days)

I am checking a code in which the following line is existed, as an example nNam= n111-y1 therefore I think this line reads all nNam which has this format (n1\d1$)|n1\d1-y,
nid = cellfun(@isempty,regexp(nNam,'(n1\d1$)|n1\d1-y'));
Now, I would like to read different nNam to be as an example nNam= n156, I searched for resources to get the corresponding regexp readible format but I did not find it. Could you help me with this?
Many thanks in advance

Do you want to detect "n + 3 digits" ?
If so, the regular expression will be 'n\d{3}'.

You haven't clearly stated what you want it to match and not match.
I'm going to assume that you want it to match "n1" followed by zero or more digits, with a trailing sequence consisting either of a single 1 or "1-y".
nNam = {'n111-y1','n156','n256','n1331'};
nid = cellfun('isempty',regexp(nNam,'n1\d*(1|1-y1)'))
If there is a restriction on the number of digits in the middle, you'll have to change the quantifier.
