Removing the string from cell array

 a = {'fdf_faf' ; 'dfaf_dfa' ; 'dfadf_dfaf'; 'dfaf_fdaf';'daf_dfaf';'dfaf_fff'};

index = find(strncmpi(a,'dfaf',4))

index =

     2
     4
     6

so above index string should be removed from cell array

How can i do this using cell fun or some other command?

Thanks a lot

Gopalakrishnan, use e.g. strrep

 a    = {'fdf_faf' ; 'dfaf_dfa' ; 'dfadf_dfaf'; 'dfaf_fdaf';'daf_dfaf';'dfaf_fff'};
 arep = strrep(a,'dfaf','')

i need to remove using the Index only

[Mischa Kim]

Not quite sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

[Gopalakrishnan venkatesan]

My cell arry will be keep on changing in a loop. For example in the above example i have found the index of matched string right. so using the index found, i need to remove those string in the cell array .

Use indexing to access or remove elements of a cell array:

>> a = {'fdf_faf'; 'dfaf_dfa'; 'dfadf_dfaf'; 'dfaf_fdaf'; 'daf_dfaf'; 'dfaf_fff'}
a = 
    'fdf_faf'
    'dfaf_dfa'
    'dfadf_dfaf'
    'dfaf_fdaf'
    'daf_dfaf'
    'dfaf_fff'
>> a(strncmpi(a,'dfaf',4)) = []
a = 
    'fdf_faf'
    'dfadf_dfaf'
    'daf_dfaf'
