This array must be between two asterisk signs (*) and the code should give us the longest name in this array
For example: {'878*jhon*23 ; '*jonathan*87' ; '485*will*421'}
output will be as a 'jonathan'
I wrote code like this. but it's not what want.
a = {'23*Ali*36' ; 'Veli*178' ; '99*Zeynep*'} ;
for k=1:length(a)
val(k)=length(a{k});
x = findstr(a) , '*' )
end
out=a(val==max(val)

Did you just try a super obvious brute force approach using a for loop:
a = {'23*Ali*36' ; 'Veli*178' ; '99*Zeynep*'} ;
nameLengths = zeros(length(a), 3); % Preallocate.
for k = 1 : length(a)
thisCellContents = a{k};
starLocations = find(thisCellContents == '*') % Find indexes of stars.
% Extract the name
if length(starLocations) >= 2
% Extract length between start #1 and star #2.
nameLengths(k, :) = [starLocations(1), starLocations(2), starLocations(2) - starLocations(1) + 1];
elseif length(starLocations) >= 1
% One star. Start from the beginning.
nameLengths(k, :) = [1, starLocations(1), starLocations(1)];
else
% No stars.
nameLengths(k, :) = [1, length(thisCellContents), length(thisCellContents)]; % The whole thing.
end
end
nameLengths % Report to command window.
[maxLength, row] = max(nameLengths(:,3)) % Find the longest one - biggest separation.
longestRow = a{row} % Get the entire string, including the start.
% Extract the substring.
out = longestRow(starLocations(1) + 1 : starLocations(2) - 1)
I'm sure there are less obvious, but more cryptic methods that are shorter if you want to wait for one from someone else.

You're welcome. Because comments are SO important, I added a few to make it even easier to follow. I encourage you to use descriptive variable names and lots of comments in your code. If my answer helped you maybe you could click the Vote button. Thanks in advance.

Try this
a = {'23*Ali*36' ; 'Veli*178' ; '99*Zeynep*'} ;
m = regexp(a, '[A-Za-z]*', 'match');
m = [m{:}];
[~, idx] = max(cellfun(@numel, m));
longest_name = m{idx};
Result
>> longest_name
longest_name =
'Zeynep'
