Remove cells that contain only two or one character

I have a variable that contain large cell arrays of strings but some of the cells contains strings that are meaningless such asç

xx = {'animal','a','aa','bc','dog','car','computer','screen','zx','tt','c','pen','ss'}

I would like to use regexp but I couldnt find appropriate expression to match two or single character.

Any sugguestion is highly appreciated.

len = length(xx)

cnt = 1;
for i = 1:len
    str = char(xx(cnt))
    if(length(str)==1 || length(str)==2)
        xx(cnt) = [];
        len = length(xx);
    else
        cnt= cnt+1;
    end
end

Answer 2

[Andrei Bobrov]

xx = {'animal','a','aa','bc','dog','car','computer','screen','zx','tt','c','pen','ss'}';

out = xx(cellfun(@numel,xx) <= 2)

:)

out = xx(cellfun(@numel,xx) > 2)

Thank you for the sugustion but this line only finds the cells that contain one or two strings without removing them from the original data
