Is it possible to delete a part of a cell

Hello guys,

I´m stuck with a problem, is it possible to delete a certain part of a cell array?

Like, I have a cell with 0.1 sec. and I would like to delete the sec. , is it possible to do it?

And when, how can I realise it?

Thanks

There are more compact ways, like using cellfun(), but they're pretty cryptic and hard to understand. A simple for loop is easy to understand:

ca = {'0.3 sec', '0.5 sec', 'Abc def'}

ca = 1×3 cell array
    {'0.3 sec'}    {'0.5 sec'}    {'Abc def'}

for k = 1 : length(ca)
	% Get cell contents and replace ' sec' with null.
	ca{k} = strrep(ca{k}, ' sec', '');
end
% Show in command window
ca

ca = 1×3 cell array
    {'0.3'}    {'0.5'}    {'Abc def'}

Thank you for your help, but it doesn´t work. I guess the problem is, that i thought it´s an array, but matlab says my time variable is a duration.

The Error I´ve got says: "Conversion to double from table is not possible."

Update:

Now it finally works as expected. Because my Timevariable was a duration, I could use the function "time2num" and it converted the duration into a array without the sec. .
