Hi there,

How can I find en element inside a cell? I mean the row and column??

Say that I have the following:

stts = {'Gable','Hip','Shed','Other'};
var = 'Shed'

I need to know that var is in position (1,3) of stts. Any ideas???

Thanks

In general you need to use cellfun()

That is a special case.

[truefalse, index] = ismember('Shed', stts)

one of the many solutions

s={'a','bb','ccc','ddd'};
t='ccc';
[rn,cn]=find(strcmp(s,t));
disp([rn,cn]);
% 1 3

Assuming stts consists of strings:

[x y] = ind2sub(size(stts),find(cellfun(@(x)strcmp(x,var),stts)))
%%%%%%%%%%
x =
1
y =
3
