Find specific cell in another cells

Hi everyone,

Attachment is my file.

I would like to know the locations of this cells containes a specific cell-{21 31 1}

I try to use like below:

Match = {21 31 1};

CorrectMatch = find (cellfun(@(x) isequal (x,Match), condition(1,:)));

but it return 0.

Could any one help me?

Thnaks. That's what I asked before.

In that case,

condition = { {21 31 1}, {22 32 2}, {21 31 }, {22 32 1} };

% Define what we want to find

match = {21 31 1};

% Instantiate output vector of where matches were found.

CorrectMatch = find (cellfun(@(x) isequal (x,match), condition(1,:)));

It work out.

But, in my real data, it failed. I don't know what problems in this method or data.

match = {21 31 1}

does not exist in your actual condition variable. Your actual condition is a cell array of cell arrays of character vectors such as {'21' '31' '1'}

match = {21 31 1};

mm = cell2mat(match);  %eg [21 31 1]
CorrectMatch = find( cellfun(@(c) isequal(str2double(c), mm),condition) );

It works out. Many thanks!!
