how to load a matrix into the workspace and save the value of a cell into a float variable

Hi,

I have a matrix, called 1.mat, that I would like to load into the workspace and then save the cell (2,4) (line 2 and column 4) into the float variable var1. How can I do it? I thank you in advance,

Best regards,

A .mat file may contain multiple objects. Nobody can guess what's in your .mat file.

For the sake of demonstration, I'll assume your .mat file contains a hypothetical numeric array called 'myarray'.

load(1.mat);
var1=double(myarray(2,4));
