What is the simpest way to remove string elements from an array? e.g. arr = [1, 2, 3, "x", "y", 10] would turn into [1,2,3,10]

What is the rule that dictates which elements should be removed from the string array?

One possible way:
numericarray = double(yourstringarray); %convert string array to numeric. Text that can't be converted to numeric will end up as NaN.
numericarray = numericarray(mod(numericarray, 1) == 0); %only keep numbers that are integers. Will also remove NaNs.
