Find certain cells with keyword

Hello Imagine I have a matrix containing a column of files name,like this: wte-142-9 wte-111-1 wte-142-1 wte-123-09 wte-142-6

I want to use some scripts to help me just extract for example cell with common keyword '142' and the output will be: wte-142-9 wte-142-1 wte-142-6 Thank you

S = {'wte-142-9', 'wte-111-1', 'wte-142-1', 'wte-123-09', 'wte-142-6'};
M = S(contains(S, '-142-'))  % With modern Matlab versions

For older systems:

match = ~cellfun('isempty', strfind(S, '-142-'));
M     = S(match)
