Need help looping through each element in cell array and editing the elements?

Hi,

I currently have a 10000 x 1 cell array, with each element corresponding to text that look like this: '5/13/2014 16:14,911,724 Biomarkers_neuron_ca_T05-13-14.csv'. I want to loop through each of these elements and delete all text before Biomarkers as well as the '.csv' to be left with elements: 'Biomarkers_neuron_ca_T05-13-14' and so on.

Appreciate the help!

str='5/13/2014 16:14,911,724 Biomarkers_neuron_ca_T05-13-14.csv'
out=regexpi(str,'\<Biomarkers.+','match')

Thank you! however, I forgot to mention that the file names vary, and sometimes they are named something like: '5/13/2014 16:14,911,724 Untitled_neuron_ca_T05-13-14.csv'. Is there a way to generalize the code to apply it to this text.

str={'5/13/2014 16:14,911,724 Untitled_neuron_ca_T05-13-14.csv','5/13/2014 16:14,911,724 Biomarkers_neuron_ca_T05-13-14.csv'}
out=regexpi(str,'\<\S*.csv\>','match')
out{:}

I actually incorporated an if-statement to fix my issue, but your code is certainly more efficient. Thank you for your help!
