How can I make a formula in Google Spreadsheet to return a value if a cell contains a text in a list

I'm currently interested in building a custom function/formula in Google Spreadsheet where the function will intake a cell and return a value that is related to a specific text in a list.
As you can see in the screenshot, which is a demo that I drafted to give a better idea of what I'm trying to accomplish, column A contains a list of items that has random texts. In the texts, there are some keywords that I would like to identify into different categories.
Column B is just a demo of how I envision to use my custom function that I want to create. Column C is the expected result that I would get by using the custom function.
Column E is the list of keywords that I would like the custom function to search for in cells and Column F is the category that I would like the custom function to return once it finds the relevant keyword in a text.
Thank you!
I tried searching for this topic, but I only came across how to set up an array formula to achieve what I want to do. If there was any post about this, I would really appreciate if you could just link it in the comment.
Given your scenario, you can try with this formula:
=FILTER(F:F,INDEX(REGEXMATCH(A2,"(?i)"&E:E)),E:E<>"")
If you wish to have it for the whole row:
=BYROW(A2:A,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",FILTER(F:F,INDEX(REGEXMATCH(each,"(?i)"&E:E)),E:E<>""))))
If you could have more than one result, you can add JOIN:
=BYROW(A2:A,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",JOIN(", ",FILTER(F:F,INDEX(REGEXMATCH(each,"(?i)"&E:E)),E:E<>"")))))

Google Sheets- Print row’s content to label via button in each row

I am looking for a way to quickly print specific contents (via google sheets script or macro) of a row to a sticker label.
Example, from an inventory sheet I have columns titled “manufacturer”, “model”, “Qty” , etc. I would like to have a button/trigger in each row, which tells a label printer to print the contents of certain columns of that row
I have not tried much at this point, and am looking for even a starting point.

using formulas and hyperlink in the same cell

So the main idea is I want to put a Hyperlink on a cell that contains a formula, But google sheet don't like that.
I had 2 ideas.
1- Put the formula in cell A1 and the output of that formula is dumped into cell A2 which is gonna be Hyperlinked.
(I tried to use FILTER to pull data into the Hyperlinked cell but it would give me a #REF! error:Array result was not expanded because it would overwrite data in A2.)
2- Use some sort of apps-script of which I have very little understanding of, so I didn't find any scripts relating to my question.
I didn't understand the reason why you can't put a Hyperlink AND a formula in the same cell, But as far as I understood:
Hyperlink is a formula it self → =HYPERLINK(url, [link_label])
So instead of Hyperlinking our cell using the UI, we can use the formula form to Hyperlink the cell and use our formula in the place of [link_label] which is gonna be the name of our cell:
=HYPERLINK( url , [link_label])
=HYPERLINK("google.com", SUM(B2:B5 ))

Example to combine headers footers paragraphs of html and Tables

jspdf-autotable examples['header-footer'] example gets me most of what I need for my task.
I am trying to add rich text (constant font some bold and under line words) before and after a table. looking at examples.content did not make it clear.
So a complete PDF might be:
1. some paragraphs of text
2. a table on more than one page
3. some paragraphs of text
4. another table on more than one page
how do I combine all of this in one var doc = new jsPDF(); ?
Example code would be very appreciated.
The key is to use doc.autoTable.previous.finalY to get the final y position where the table ended drawing. You can than dynamically use that to draw text with doc.text(). If you want further guidence, please update your question with more info on what you have tried and what didn't work.

Cell Displayed As a Single Column in Octave

I am working on a .mat file containing different data. The problem is the Cell is shown as a single column, not as 2D form. I already tried full('Cell'), but it is still shown as a single column. Also I tried
size('Cell') and ismatrix('Cell'), the answers were 53*45 and 1.
Here is link of screenshot:http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2vsrx2a&s=8
The easiest way is to change your cell to a dataframe using dataframe('cell'), so that you can read the data in a table-form.
