Hi, I've got a variable that is a cell array with some chars inside and I want to split those chars to get all cells. I had this problem with strings inside the cell array and they helped me with a function named cellstr but now I do not find a function that does this to me. Thanks in advance.
That is what I have:
Time_msg_match(61649)
ans =
1×1 cell array
{2×5 char}

Please post some code, which produces test data and the wanted output.

The code That I have does another thing.
but I have:
Time_msg_match{K} = complete_match_AIS
Gives me the position of every message from complete_match_AIS(The matching messages from AIS1 and AIS2). Then I want to get the time from Time_AIS1(Duration variable of the messages from AIS1) and write it in the variable Time_msg_match. Did I explain myself?

msg{1} =['abc12';'def34']
msg = 1×1 cell array
{2×5 char}
msgc = cellstr(msg{1})
msgc = 2×1 cell array
{'abc12'} {'def34'}

"I post and Image to see the differences from element 5 and the other ones"
Yep, it is quite clear that element five is a scalar numeric array, not a character array. So your original description in your question "I've got a variable that is a cell array with some chars inside" is not completely correct: it also has numeric arrays inside too.

I did not know it till now. But I do not know why do I get different type data if my code is just:
Time_msg_match{K} = complete_match_AIS;
That gives me the position of the messages but what I really want is a variable that has the time of the messages
