cell to matrix in matlab

Hi Guys!

I have a cell with a dimension 1 by 2, e.g. X is 1 by 2 cell. Inside this cell, the first column is 3000 by 2 double matrix and the second column is 3000 by 2 double matrix as well. Both first and second columns represent different data labels. In other words, the first column is the X_even data in x and y coordinates (with size 3000 by 2), and the second column is the X_odd data in x and y coordinates (with size 3000 by 2). Now, if I convert this cell into matrix then I will get a matrix with 3000 by 4 dimension size. But What I need is to access this cell such that I get a dimension of 3000 by 2, where the first column is 3000 by 2 size and the second column ins 3000 by 2 size as well. In other words, I need something like X=[X_even Xodd] such that the size is 3000 by 2 size. Can you please help me in this? Many thanks in advance.

"X=[X_even Xodd] such that the size is 3000 by 2 size"

What will be the extra elements?

First Cell Element=3000 by 2

2nd Cell Element=3000 by 2

>> X=[{[[2:2:10].' rand(5,1)]},{[[1:2:10].' rand(5,1)]}]
X =
  1×2 cell array
    {5×2 double}    {5×2 double}

>> [X{1}(:,1) X{2}(:,1)]
ans =
          2.00          1.00
          4.00          3.00
