Calling multiple cell elements at once

2 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I have a cell something like
A=
[1x3 double] [1x3 double] [1x3 double] [1x3 double]
Is it possible to call the first position of each vector at once? Something like

Hi Matt, thanks for your reply...Yes I guess I chose a bad example but I just chose a bad example for what I want to do...not necessarily all of them will be the same size still I would like to call the first position for different purposes.

r = cellfun( @(v) v(1), A )
However, ...
