Extract some data from a cell

Hi guys,
I have an array of strings, but somehow it's saved in a cell array like this:
dateList =
1×1 cell array
{9×1 cell}
My 9x1 cell is extracted from a txt file, so it could vary its length.
I want to withdraw some strings from that string array, for example
var=[1 3 6 7];
dateList(var);
Of course, it doesn't work since dateList is actually a 1x1 cell, not a 9x1 cell.
I have found the function cellfun, but what I want is not actually a function, and there's no "cell2string" function.
I have tried string(dateList) too, but the error message is the following:
Error using string
Conversion from cell failed. Element 1 must be convertible to a string scalar.
Is there a way to do it?

This typically happend when reading a text file with textscan. A simple solution is to insert
datelist = datelist{1};
before
dateList(var);
