Uppercase string from the cell array

2 views (last 30 days)
I have a cell array a = {'AA_DFA_DD' ,'DSFA_dfaf' ,'DDDD' , 'DFE1' ,'dfs_DD'}
How can extract only the upper case string from the cell array
my answer should be {'AA_DFA_DD',[],'DDDD','DFE1',[]}
How can i do this?
Thanks a lot

^ % match start of string
[^a-z] % match any character EXCLUDING lower-case
+ % repeated one or more times
$ % match end of string
These are all explained in the documentation:

out=a(cellfun(@(x,y) isequal(x,y),a,upper(a)))
or
out=cell(size(a))
idx=cellfun(@(x,y) isequal(x,y),a,upper(a))
out(idx)=a(idx)
