how to search a cell matrix for a empty row of empty character cellsin matlab in matlab

To search for an empty row of empty character cells in a MATLAB matrix, you can use the isempty function to identify empty elements within the matrix, and then sum across the rows to find rows that contain only empty elements. Here's an example code snippet:

main.m
% create example matrix
matrix = {'', '', ''; 'a', 'b', 'c'; '', '', ''};

% find rows with only empty elements
emptyRows = sum(cellfun(@isempty, matrix), 2) == size(matrix, 2);

% display indices of empty rows
disp(find(emptyRows));

In this example, matrix is a 3x3 cell array with one row that contains only empty elements. The cellfun function applies the isempty function to each element of matrix, resulting in a logical array indicating whether each element is empty or not. The sum function is then used to sum across the rows of this logical array, resulting in a row vector indicating how many empty elements there are in each row. Finally, the == operator is used to find rows that contain exactly as many empty elements as there are columns in matrix, indicating that the row is completely empty. The find function is used to obtain the indices of these empty rows, which are then displayed using disp.
