How to read cell range from one cell in file

Hi all

I want to read cell range from a file. Each cell of this file contains a different cell range. For example raw is the file and raw(2,3) = 3:4, 6:10

So I want X(raw{2,3}) which is the same as X(3:4,6:10) but when I run it they are not the same. Each one gives different result. Any idea how I can fix it?

X(raw{2,3})====X([3 4 6 7 8 9 10])

X(3:4,6:10)====X([3,4],[6 7 8 9 10])

Can you explains to me why raw{2,3} = 3:4,6:10 but X(raw{2,3}==X([3 4 6 7 8 9 10]) ?

Answer 1

[Andrei Bobrov]

raw(2,3) = {3:4, 6:10};

X(raw(2,3)) doesn't work as well. It does not give me same result as X(3:4,6:10).

How could I get same result using index to my file raw? (so I don't have to type the cell range..)

[Andrei Bobrov]

raw(2,3) = {3:4, 6:10};
X(raw{2,3})

[Diana]

X(raw{2,3}) is not giving the same result as X(3:4, 6:10).

[Andrei Bobrov]

raw = cell(3);
raw{2,3} = {3:4,6:10};

X = randi(18,10); eg

X(raw{2,3}{:})

Using this show an error: Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.

The cell i AM TRYING TO EXPORT CONTAINS CHARACTERS LIKE '3:6, 7:8'

Any idea how I could fix it?

Try

raw{2,3}={3:4,6:10};
x=rand(10,10);
x(3:4,6:10)
x(raw{2,3}{1,1},raw{2,3}{1,2})

Now it is returning:Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.
