Deleting line containing symbol.

Hi can You help me finish this command:
E(any(regexp(E, 'A|' , 'match' );,2),:) = [];
Deleting line in variable E(readed by textscan), containing A|.
Thank You.

E={'| 00:00 | A| | A| A| A|'
'| 00:15 | 1.21 | | 1.34 | 1.42 | 1.34 |'
'| 00:30 | 1.42 | | 1.76 | 1.34 | 1.45 |'
'| 00:45 | 1.23 | | 1.34 | 1.67 | 1.23 |'}
out=cellfun(@(x) strrep(x,'A|',''),E,'un',0)
out=cellfun(@(x) strrep(x,'|',''),out,'un',0)

Yest this is close, but not deleting whole line, but only A| from them.
Do you want to delete also | ?
E={'| 00:00 | A| | A| A| A|'
'| 00:15 | 1.21 | | 1.34 | 1.42 | 1.34 |'
'| 00:30 | 1.42 | | 1.76 | 1.34 | 1.45 |'
'| 00:45 | 1.23 | | 1.34 | 1.67 | 1.23 |'}
out=cellfun(@(x) strrep(x,'A|',''),E,'un',0)
out=cellfun(@(x) strrep(x,'|',''),out,'un',0)

No I would like to delete whole line so the output should look like this:
E={'| 00:15 | 1.21 | | 1.34 | 1.42 | 1.34 |
| 00:30 | 1.42 | | 1.76 | 1.34 | 1.45 |
| 00:45 | 1.23 | | 1.34 | 1.67 | 1.23 |'}
Ok
E={'| 00:00 | A| | A| A| A|'
'| 00:15 | 1.21 | | 1.34 | 1.42 | 1.34 |'
'| 00:30 | 1.42 | | 1.76 | 1.34 | 1.45 |'
'| 00:45 | 1.23 | | 1.34 | 1.67 | 1.23 |'}
idx=find(cell2mat(cellfun(@(x) ~any(strfind(x,'A|')),E,'un',0)))
out=E(idx)
Working great. Thank You for Your time, and great answer of course.

E='assA|stA|'
idx=regexp(E,'A|')
E(idx+1)=[]

Thanks but this function should work in cells (as textscan is saving in cells).
E={'assA|stA|'}
E=E{1}
idx=regexp(E,'A|')
E(idx+1)=[]
Can you post a sample of your data?
%or
E={'assA|stA|';'azekaA|assaA|'}
for k=1:numel(E)
a=E{k}
idx=regexp(a,'A|')
a(idx+1)=[]
E{k}=a
end
Yes of course, sorry for that.
Example:
E<1x1 cell>
<4x1 cell>
| 00:00 | A| | A| A| A|
| 00:15 | 1.21 | | 1.34 | 1.42 | 1.34 |
| 00:30 | 1.42 | | 1.76 | 1.34 | 1.45 |
| 00:45 | 1.23 | | 1.34 | 1.67 | 1.23 |
