How can I use the split function with multiple delimiters?

I am trying to use the split command on a cell Array but I am getting this error:

Element 77 of the text contains 2 delimiters while the previous elements have 1. All

elements must contain the same number of delimiters.

The problem is that in the line below

software_logical/forIteratorSubsystem/Out1. Some of the elements in my have different number of delimiters.

software_math/sum

This the code I am using below. What can I do so that my program will split at the last delimiter ('/')

cellArray = split(compareBlocks,'/');
cellArray = split(compareBlocks,'/',2); %I even tride using this but it does not work

>> str = 'software_logical/forIteratorSubsystem/Out1';
>> [one,two] = fileparts(str)
one = software_logical/forIteratorSubsystem
two = Out1
>> str = 'software_math/sum';
>> [one,two] = fileparts(str)
one = software_math
two = sum

For character vectors in a cell array call fileparts inside of cellfun.

I see what you did, and I should have explained more what I am doing. I am getting block from the simulink model, and I am getting some from a diagram to compare them and make sure they came from the correct library. I tried your method in a way to fit what I am doing but I am getting this error message.

Input must be a row vector of characters.

I tried turning the column vector into a row vector and got the same response.

@Deon Hargrove: did you try the advice I gave at the end of my answer?

[Deon Hargrove]

Sure did. Played around with the various ways I could use it.

This is the most recent

cellArray = cell(fileparts(compareBlocks))

[Stephen23]

cellArray = cell(fileparts(compareBlocks))

will place the first output (i.e. the "path") of the split compareBLocks variable into a scalar cell array, and discards the rest. There does not seem to be much point in doing that.

Lets try my answer on a cell array, using cellfun as I mentioned:

>> C = {'software_logical/forIteratorSubsystem/Out1', 'software_math/sum'};
>> [one,two] = cellfun(@fileparts, C, 'uni',0);
>> one{:}
ans = software_logical/forIteratorSubsystem
ans = software_math
>> two{:}
ans = Out1
ans = sum

How about using cellfun, like:

% Sample cell array
C = {'software_logical/forIteratorSubsystem/Out1', 'software_math/sum'};

% Apply 'split' for each cell
parts = cellfun(@(x) split(x,'/'),C,'UniformOutput',false);

The result is like this:

>> parts{1}

ans =

3×1 cell array

{'software_logical' }

{'forIteratorSubsystem'}

{'Out1' }

>> parts{2}

ans =

2×1 cell array

{'software_math'}

{'sum' }

What is x in your code?

"What is x in your code?"

x is the input argument to an anoymous function:
