Getting data from netCDF as a list

Hi, I have been working with netcdf data and when I want to get the list of one variable (air temperature in this example), it gives me a list with answer(.,.,.) first and then the numbers. I would like a list that contains only the answers so I can copy it into excel easily without having to remove the answer(...) part.

Here is my code:

ncid1 = netcdf.open('air1848.nc','NOWRITE')

ncid1 =

         65536
  [varname, xtype, varDimIDs, varAtts] = netcdf.inqVar(ncid1,3);
  varid = netcdf.inqVarID(ncid1,varname);
  air = netcdf.getVar(ncid1,varid');
  air(117,46,1:366)

ans(:,:,1) =

    289.8800

ans(:,:,2) =

    290.2100

ans(:,:,3) =

    290.2100

ans(:,:,4) =

     291

ans(:,:,5) =

    291.5300

ans(:,:,6) =

    291.3300

ans(:,:,7) =

    291.0600

ans(:,:,8) =

    290.9000

ans(:,:,9) =

    291.7500

ans(:,:,10) =

    290.1500

ans(:,:,11) =

    289.1500

ans(:,:,12) =

    288.2100

ans(:,:,13) =

    288.4300

ans(:,:,14) =

    289.6800

ans(:,:,15) =

    290.2500

ans(:,:,16) =

    289.7300

etc...

As you can see, the data it gives me has that extra answer(...) in front of each data entry which forces me to delete in excel. What I want is 289.88 290.21 290.21 291 etc.

I am not very familiar with netcdf files in Matlab, so if you know how I can change the way it is giving me the data, any help would be very appreciated as this would save me hours of work collecting data!

Thank you

mydata = air(117,46,1:366);

mydata(:)

or

squeeze(mydata)
