Extract data from cell array

Dear all,

I'm struggling a bit with extracting the data from a cell array B so that I can continue working with it. It is of type 10x1 cell where each cell contains two dimensional line profile data (2047x2 double). The idea is to extract every profile line out of B and calculate different surface roughness parameters. My question now is:

Currently I'm extracting the data with:

L1 = B{1,1}

L2 = B{2,1}

etc.

The function cell2table doesn't really work in my case, since the output of it is a 10x1 table. Is there an easier solution to extract the data? Maybe with a for loop?

Thanks a lot for helping

Christian

Perhaps cell2mat would work. or alternatively, adding square brackets to concatenate the cell contents:

L1 = [B{1,1}]
L2 = [B{2,1}]

Assigning the cells to individual variables (numbered or not) is not considered to be good programming practice in any event, so please avoid that if at all possible. Keep the elements of ‘B’ in an array of some description, and refer to the elements of the array instead.
