iterate the elements of cell array in matlab

Question

I got this cell array resulted from the function textscan

r =

{139952x1 cell}

and when you type r{1} in the command window, you get something like

my question is, how to reach an individual element in this cell array, the fourth element for example ?

r{i} should let you access the element i of a cell array. I looks like the contents of the cell might be an array. Try a = r{1} and examining a specifically. — eigenchris

no it doesn't @eigenchris, this will display the whole column — Sabir Moglad

I was trying to say that r{1} itself is a column array. So with a=r{1}, a(4) would be the 4th element of the array in the first cell of r. — eigenchris
