Hi,
I have a cell matrix:
'56' 'mat find false' '89 mm' 'mat 96 kl'
I want to split:
- 'mat find false' --> 'mat' 'find false' (one cell to two cells)
- 'mat 96 kl' -->'mat' '96 kl'
desired Output:
'56' 'mat' 'find false' '89 mm' 'mat' '96 kl'
Many thanks in advance,

Or regexp-based: if
C = {'56', 'mat find false', '89 mm', 'mat 96 kl'} ;
then
result = regexp(C, '(mat)?\s?(.*)', 'tokens', 'once') ;
result = [result{:}] ;
result(cellfun(@isempty, result)) = [] ;
outputs:
result =
1×6 cell array
'56' 'mat' 'find false' '89 mm' 'mat' '96 kl'

As usual I mention that cellfun('isempty') is faster than cellfun(@isempty), because it does not call a Matlab function in a loop, but checks the emptiness inside the Mex function.
