how to find a string within a cell array

I have a cell array like this:

'10 Hz: Time_abs'
<1x2 cell>
<1x2 cell>
<1x2 cell>
<1x2 cell>
<1x2 cell>
<1x2 cell>
<1x2 cell>
'10 Hz: Time_abs'
<1x2 cell>
<1x2 cell>
<1x2 cell>

at first I need to find in which rows there is '10 Hz: Time_abs' and then delete the corresponding row. I can not use strcmp or isstr because the other rows are cell and are not comparable with a string.

can anybody help me with that,I really appreciate that.

best, Navid

Why not iterate over each element within the cell array and copy those that aren't strings (that match '10 Hz: Time_abs') to another cell array?

p='10 Hz: Time_abs'
A={'10 Hz: Time_abs';{'yytt' 'rr'};{'yyt2t' 'rr1'}}
A(cellfun(@(x) any(strcmp(x,p)),A))=[]

Many thanks,it's working,is it possible to have the index of these rows?

p='10 Hz: Time_abs'
A={'10 Hz: Time_abs';{'yytt' 'rr'};{'yyt2t' 'rr1'}}
idx=find(cellfun(@(x) any(strcmp(x,p)),A))
