Is there a method to extract all the data from a nested cell array when each nested cell is of a different size?

For example

1x1 cell  

1x2 cell

1x19 cell

1x20 cell

This will produce a ragged array but is there a work around

What would you want the output to look like?

Are all the elements either cell or numeric?

Hi George,

My first thought would be to apply a recursive function using the cellfun . e.g.

function C =extractmycells(C)
if iscell(C)
    C = cellfun(@extractmycells, C, 'UniformOutput', 0);
    C = cat(2,C{:});
else
    C = {C};
end
end

As an example

>> B = {1,{2},{3,4,5},{6,7,8,9}}

B = 

      [1]    {1x1 cell}    {1x3 cell}    {1x4 cell}

>> C =extractmycells(B)

C = 

      [1]    [2]    [3]    [4]    [5]    [6]    [7]    [8]    [9]

@Konstantinos Sofos Hi,

What if I would like continue every time with a new row?
