Manipulating data in Cell Arrays

Hi All

I have a simple question as follows:

I have a cell matrix of size (20 X 20). All cells are filled with data like 'S1', 'S2', 'S3' to 'S400'. There is no other data. I want to remove 'S' from all cells and only keep the numeric part in the matrix.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Regards

AMD.

If data is your matrix

out=str2double(cellfun(@(x) regexp(x,'\d+','match'),data))

str2double(strrep(data, 'S', ''))
