Create variable from cell array based on strings

I have a cell array something like this...

if true
Var1=
'A'  6
'B'  7
'B'  7
'A'  8
'C'  10
'A'  9
'A'  3
end

I want to pull out the values into a new variable which correspond only to 'A'

I.e generate this variable

if true
Var2=
'A'  6
'A'  8
'A'  9
'A'  3
end

Var1={'A',6; ...
      'B',7; ...
      'B',7; ...
      'A',8; ...
      'C',10; ...
      'A',9; ...
      'A',3};

Var2=Var1(strcmpi(Var1(:,1),'A'),:)

Var2 = 

      'A'    [6]
      'A'    [8]
      'A'    [9]
      'A'    [3]

Answer 2

I think this should work. I am on mobile though so I can't check it atm.

index=strcmp(var1(:,1),'A');
index=index(:,any(index));
var2=var1(index,:);
