Removal of empty entries in an array (fast)

  • Follow


I have a very large array 360,000 and I want to remove the odd 20-30 empty cells in the array. How can this be done without increasing computational speed by much?

A = A(cellfun(@(C) ~isempty(C), A));

Though possibly it might be faster to use

A(cellfun(@isempty,A)) = [];

That is very fast. Thank you for the assistance.

None of that is fastest. Thes fastest is this:

C(cellfun('isempty',C)) = [];
