Change char to cell

Hi, I've got a variable that is a cell array with some chars inside and I want to split those chars to get all cells. I had this problem with strings inside the cell array and they helped me with a function named cellstr but now I do not find a function that does this to me. Thanks in advance.

That is what I have:

Time_msg_match(61649)

ans =

1×1 cell array

{2×5 char}

Please post some code, which produces test data and the wanted output.

The code That I have does another thing.

but I have:

Time_msg_match{K} = complete_match_AIS

Gives me the position of every message from complete_match_AIS(The matching messages from AIS1 and AIS2). Then I want to get the time from Time_AIS1(Duration variable of the messages from AIS1) and write it in the variable Time_msg_match. Did I explain myself?

msg{1} =['abc12';'def34']

msg = 1×1 cell array
    {2×5 char}

msgc = cellstr(msg{1})

msgc = 2×1 cell array
    {'abc12'}
    {'def34'}

I get this error:

Element 5 is not a string scalar or character array. All elements of cell input must be string scalars or character arrays.

I post and Image to see the differences from element 5 and the other ones

"I post and Image to see the differences from element 5 and the other ones"

Yep, it is quite clear that element five is a scalar numeric array, not a character array. So your original description in your question "I've got a variable that is a cell array with some chars inside" is not completely correct: it also has numeric arrays inside too.

I did not know it till now. But I do not know why do I get different type data if my code is just:

Time_msg_match{K} = complete_match_AIS;

That gives me the position of the messages but what I really want is a variable that has the time of the messages
