Hello all,
Suppose a cell array 10x1 consisted of random numbers from 1 to 5. How can I find the locations for number 5?
All the best,
MhD

X = my_array_data [row,col] = find(X==21) %In this example, it retrieves the cell location which contains the value 21.

call this array for example X
type k=find(X==5)
it will return for you the number of the cell that has the value of 5.

C = {1,5,3,4,2,3,4,5,2,1};
index = find([C{:}] == 5);
Here [C{:}] is a faster inlined version of cell2mat.
Alternative:
index = cellfun(@(x) x==5, C, 'UniformOutput', 1);
Or the long and most likely faster form:
index = false(1, numel(C))
for k = 1:numel(C)
index(k) = (C{k} == 5);
end
[EDITED] If you are talking of a cell string, this is much faster:
D = {'1' '5' '3' '4' '2' '3' '4' '5' '2' '1'};
index = find(strcmp(D, '5'));

This looks strange. When eheader is numerical, converting it elementwise inside a cellfun call to a string and afterwards by char to a char matrix is cruel. Then assuming a certain number of spaces around the value is fragile, because the width depends on the values. What about this (I cannot open the posted MAT file, better post code in the forum which creates the example data):
x = find([eheader{:}] == -88)
STRCMP works much faster with cell strings, so at least do not let CHAR() create a CHAR-matrix.

Just a casual MATLAB coder dropping by this older thread on a hunt for answers. Your response for the cell string method worked easily for me. Thank you so much for including it!

Just in case someone comes here looking to do this with a cell array of chars as I was, it's quite easy this way:
my_cell_array = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
i = find(strcmp(my_cell_array, 'b'));
assert(i == 2)

Genius! Your supplement exactly fits my question.

cellarray_new = zeros; %initializing the array
ind = 1; %indices for new array
for j = 1:10
if (cellarray(j) == 5)
cellarray_new(ind) = j;
ind = ind + 1;
end
end
the array cellarray_new will contain all the indices of the original cell array that contain the number 5

I assume that "cell array" implies, that the array is a cell.
