Extract numeric data from cell

I need to extract numbers from a cell and put them in a matrix.

My cell is expressed as following:

A={'position: [0.5418702363967896, 0.0005752428551204503, -3.834952076431364e-05, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]'};

I tried the following example but it does not consider the e-5 .

A1 = regexp(A,'[\d*\.]*\d*','match')
A2 = [A1{:}]
out = str2double(strcat(A2{:}))

I need to get the full number to be able to make some calculations.

Thank you for help.

This is not a cell, but a CHAR vector.

It is a cell :)

Then use:

B = A{1}

Now it is a CHAR vector again.

hello

A = {'position: [0.5418702363967896, 0.0005752428551204503, -3.834952076431364e-05, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]'};
A1 = regexp(char(A),'[-+]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?\d+)?','match'); % extract numerical content of string
out = str2double(A1);

Thank you @Mathieu NOE

This solved my problem!

More efficient than this answer:

format short G
A = {'position: [0.5418702363967896, 0.0005752428551204503, -3.834952076431364e-05, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]'};
X = find(A{1}=='[',1);
V = sscanf(A{1}(1+X:end),'%f,')

V = 6×1

0.54187 0.00057524 -3.835e-05 0 0 0

Answer 2

[Jan]

A = ['position: [0.5418702363967896, 0.0005752428551204503, ', ...
    '-3.834952076431364e-05, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]'];
D = extractBetween(A, '[', ']');
data = sscanf(D{1}, '%g,')

@Jan Thank you for your response. However, I am using MATLAB 2016a and the function extractBetween is not supported.
