How to filter required data

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi,
I have below table. I want to take the data under "actual measurement" till stop, but in between there should not exist except complete or paused or stop. for example I want the below cases:
actual measurement start 2016/4/5
complete BA0K2 23
complete BY0P2 3
stop HYT0KL 54
AND
actual measurement start 2016/4/7
paused VA0L2 89
paused BY0P2 3
stop HYT0KL 54
But I dont want:
measurement restart start 2016/4/7
complete VA0L2 89
paused BY0P2 3
stop HYT0KL 54
AND
actual measurement start 2016/4/7
actual measurement restart start 2016/4/7
paused VA0L2 89
stop HYT0KL 54
My Table:
actual measurement start 2016/4/5
complete BA0K2 23
complete BY0P2 3
stop HYT0KL 54
measurement restart start 2016/4/7
complete VA0L2 89
paused BY0P2 3
stop HYT0KL 54
actual measurement start 2016/4/7
paused VA0L2 89
paused BY0P2 3
stop HYT0KL 54
actual measurement restart start 2016/4/7
paused VA0L2 89
stop HYT0KL 54
actual measurement start 2016/4/7
actual measurement restart start 2016/4/7
paused VA0L2 89
stop HYT0KL 54

What is the data type of this table? If it is character, are the fields separated by tab?

In order for you to run this code you must convert your data (aka the table) into cell using the cell2table() and store it into variable named 'data'
result = {};
startRows = find(strcmp(data(:,1),'actual measurement'));
stopRows = find(strcmp(data(:,1),'stop'));
nloop = length(startRows);
for i = 1:nloop
sectionStop = find(startRows(i)<stopRows,1,'first');
if strcmp(data(startRows(i)+1:stopRows(sectionStop)-1,1),'complete') | strcmp(data(startRows(i)+1:stopRows(sectionStop)-1,1),'paused')
result = [result; data(startRows:stopRows(sectionStop),:)];
end
end
