Combining if and for loop to iterate through a cell array

Pseudocode: I want to read column 2 of a cell array. If the value of column 2 is "x", then I want to open the matrix in column 1 of that same row (and do further code with that).

How should I construct this code? something like

for trialnumber = 1 : length(cellfilename)
    if cellfilename (trialnumber, 2) == 'x'
        load (cellfilename (trialnumber, 1))
    end
end

That's the general idea. Already, an error is that Undefined operator '==' for input arguments of type 'cell'. Please let me know how I can accomplish this! Thank you :)

to access the contents of a cell array, use {} instead of ():

for trialnumber = 1 : length(cellfilename)
    if cellfilename{trialnumber, 2} == 'x'
        load(cellfilename{trialnumber, 1})
    end
end
