i want to search for all the rows (:,6)that contain a specific word
i try :
[num text alldata] = xlsread('result.xlsx','1'); % import excel file
j=1;
k=1;
for i=1:size(alldata,1)
d = regexp(alldata{i,6},'[ ]*','split') % this split sentences but didn't save
for L=1:length(d)
idx(k)=l;
k=k+1; end
if isequal (alldata{i,6},'battery') % search for word "battery"
defs(j)=i;
j=j+1;
end end
data=alldata(defs,:);
but it didn't work....!
SOS...any help please.

I don’t have your data so I can’t run your code or test this, but see if:
if strcmpi(alldata{i,6},'battery') % search for word "battery"
improves your code.
It uses the strcmpi (case-insensitive string comparison) to do the test.
