Seperting numbers in a cell

Hello,

How can I sepererate numbers in a cell with respect to semi colon seperating them? E.g. number is given below

   a={1000000000;-46,924118041992187;}

I have tried with this command but it sepererates number with semi colon and comma.

      b=regexp(a,'\d+(\;)?(\d+)?','match')
.

a is cells of numbers or string?

Numbers.

What does

a = {1000000000;-46,924118041992187;}

mean exactly?

a = '{1000000000;-46,924118041992187;}'
a = {'1000000000;-46,924118041992187;'}
'a = {1000000000;-46,924118041992187;}'

[KSSV]

   a={1000000000;-46,924118041992187;}

didn't this throw a error? Comma is not allowed...

Yes this is cell containing two double values. a = {1000000000;-46,924118041992187;}

[KSSV]

   a={1000000000;-46924118041992187}

you can use a{1} and a{2}. Thus they are separated??

@KSSV consider it a long number in a single cell.

If you mean

a = {'1000000000;-46,924118041992187;'}

use

str = strrep(a{1}, ',', '.');
n   = sscanf(str, '%g;%g')
