how to delete rows of the character '' from a column or column vector

how to delete rows of the character '' from a column or column vector

e.g column_vector={'2';'3';'';'54';'';'';'';'4';'19'} to become column_vector={'2';'3';'54';'4';'19'}

Do you mean from a cell array? please post a sample of your data

e.g column_vector={'2';'3';'';'54';'';'';'';'4';'19'} to become column_vector={'2';'3';'54';'4';'19'}

if the column_vector is a cell array as in the example provided, then the '' character is not a character at all, but an empty string which is detected by isempty. See Azzi's answer.

if the column_vector is a truly a column vector, it is a char array. Then the '' character may very well be a character which can be removed according to James' answer.

Using proper terminology helps in getting the right answer.

How? I'm a novice in matlab. it is not a cell array but a column obtained from a table with a variable name

Answer 1

s={'' ;12;'';'5 '; '6';' abc';'rt';;''}
s(cellfun(@isempty,s))=[]

Thanks Aziz. It does not work with column obtained from a table.

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

It's Azzi, not Aziz. post a sample of this column

Thank you
