Find cells with specific condition

Hi everyone,

As the attachment, there is a cell array. I want to find specific cells as below:

Con1= {11 2}; Con2= {12 1};

Now, I can select above cells as following code.

Con1= {11 2};

Con2= {12 1};

Con1incorrect = find (cellfun(@(x) isequal (x,Con1), condition(1,:)));

Con2incorrect = find (cellfun(@(x) isequal (x,Con2), condition(1,:)));

But, I only want to select those cells that with following specific cells like Correctcon1 = {11 1} or Correctcon2 = {12 2},

How can I do that?

First of all, not all elements of condition contain two elements so you'll have to special-case those or fix that anomaly. Use a NaN or something else for missing value indicator would be one way.

If do that, then there's no need for cell array at all; then just use

match=[11 1];                               % wanted matching pattern
isMatch=ismember(condition,match,'rows');   % find matching indices in fixed condition array
