How can I select a cell containing a specific text from a nx1 cell array and store it in a variable?

How can I select a cell containing a specific text from a nx1 cell array and store it in a variable?

a =

nx1 cell array

{'data1 = 231'}

{'line = 5457'}

{'data2 = a'}

{'sample = 889'}

{'ddf = 22'}

...

I want to make this result.

line =

1x1 cell

{'line = 5457'}

sample =

1x1 cell

{'sample = 889'}

I want to get a cell containing the text 'line, sample' without directly entering the index value.

Read about contains, strcmp, strcmpi, strfind. All these functions give you index where theres is a match with the given input string.

If C is your nx1 cell array.

idx = contains(C,'line = 5457') ;
iwant = C(idx)
