Extracting only some cell arrays from a cell- based on a double array

Dear all,

I have a 1*29 cell (C) containing tables. For example C{1,1} = 444*12 table.

From this 1*29 cell, I want to keep only selected arrays based on the a=[ 1 3 15 19 20 29] variable.

I want to have a final cell like the below:

NewC = {C{1, 1}, C{1,3}, C{1,15}, C{1,19}, C{1,20}, C{1,29}}

Since the real dataset is bigger, I want to know if there is any way to do this using cellfun or a loop.

Best regards.

something like this:

yourCell=cellstr(num2str((1:29)'))'

yourCell = 1×29 cell array
    {' 1'}    {' 2'}    {' 3'}    {' 4'}    {' 5'}    {' 6'}    {' 7'}    {' 8'}    {' 9'}    {'10'}    {'11'}    {'12'}    {'13'}    {'14'}    {'15'}    {'16'}    {'17'}    {'18'}    {'19'}    {'20'}    {'21'}    {'22'}    {'23'}    {'24'}    {'25'}    {'26'}    {'27'}    {'28'}    {'29'}

someOfThemIdx=[ 1 3 15 19 20 29];
someOfThem=yourCell(someOfThemIdx)

someOfThem = 1×6 cell array
    {' 1'}    {' 3'}    {'15'}    {'19'}    {'20'}    {'29'}
