Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, numofstrtab, is designed to find a specific row in a cell array of strings based on a given token. It returns the contents of the second column of the matched row.
Input Parameters
- tok: A string to compare with the first column of the cell array. It can also be a numeric value.
- strtab: A cell array where the first column contains strings and the second column contains associated values.
Output Results
- nr: The value(s) from the second column of the row where the first column matches the token. If no match is found and
tok is numeric, nr will be set to tok.
Algorithm Steps
- Initialize
nr as an empty array.
- Iterate over each row of
strtab using a for-loop.
- For each row, compare the first column string with the lowercase version of
tok using isequal.
- If a match is found, set
nr to the contents of the second column of that row and exit the loop.
- After the loop, if
nr is still empty and tok is numeric, set nr to tok.
Example
Given the cell array strtab={'spine',1; 'torso',2; 'carm', 3;'table',4} and the token 'TORSO', the function will return 2 as it matches the second row.
