how to delete empty cells out of a cell array in matlab

One way to delete empty cells from a cell array in Matlab is to use the cellfun function in combination with the isempty function.

Here's an example:

main.m
% Create a cell array with empty and non-empty cells
myCells = {'apple', '', 'banana', '', '', 'orange'};

% Use cellfun and isempty to find empty cells
emptyCells = cellfun(@isempty, myCells);

% Use logical indexing to remove empty cells
myCells(emptyCells) = [];
266 chars
9 lines

In this example, the cellfun function is used to apply the isempty function to each cell in the myCells cell array. This creates a logical array emptyCells with true values in positions where the corresponding cell is empty. Finally, we use this logical array to remove the empty cells from myCells using logical indexing.

After running the code, myCells will only contain non-empty cells: {'apple', 'banana', 'orange'}.
