Extracting a number from cells

Hi,

I am relatively new to MATLAB and I am looking for some help extracting the numbers from a cell containing letters and numbers. The format is 47 rows and 1 column with each cell containing the word 'Monday' followed by a number.

e.g.

Monday06

Monday10

Monday38

Monday18

I was wondering if it is possible to extract just the number so it should say:

06

10

38

18

Apologies for the poor terminology, I am not great with the correct terms for everything.

Thank you

A cell cannot contain both letters and numbers, unless the cell contained a cell array. A cell array can. Not sure what you have because you forgot to attach your cell array data

save('answers.mat', 'yourCellArray');

In the meantime, read this link:

How are these strings stored? Are these stored in a cell array? If yes, try something like this

C = {'Monday06', 'Monday10', 'Monday38', 'Monday18'}
vals = textscan([C{:}], 'Monday%d')

Try isstrprop():

ca = {...
	'Monday06'
	'Monday10'
	'Monday38'
	'Monday18'}

for k = 1 : numel(ca)
	thisCell = ca{k};
	digitIndexes = isstrprop(ca{k},'digit');
	numbers(k) = str2double(thisCell(digitIndexes))
end
