Reading multiple values from an n*1 cell array.

I am trying to convert an n*1 cell array into an n*5 matrix of doubles

{'3.748 2.858136 21.447754 13.853117 -9.113155'}

{'3.749 2.869758 21.443939 13.816126 -9.117885'}

Does anyone know how to do this?

The most efficient way:

>> C = {'3.7482.85813621.44775413.853117-9.113155'; '3.7492.86975821.44393913.816126-9.117885'};
>> M = sscanf(sprintf(' %s',C{:}),'%f',[5,Inf]).'
M =
   3.74820   0.85814   0.44775   0.85312  -9.11316
   3.74920   0.86976   0.44394   0.81613  -9.11788
