Create a cell array containing the first 3 doubles from another cell array

Hello,

I have a cell araay CCC (500x1 cell), containing 500x1 doubles.

I would like to create a new cell array (a) with just the first three doubles (500x1 each) from CCC.

I tried with a = {CCC{1}:CCC{3}}; but is not working, how can I do it?

Thanks in advance for the help :)

Hello Fabio

It is my understanding that you want to extract the first three cells from a cell array CCC.

This can be achieved using the following code snippet:

a = CCC(1:3);

You can consult the following example to see the effects of the command listed above.

c3 = {[1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4] [1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4] [1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4] [1 ; 2; 3; 4; 5]}

c3 = 1×4 cell array
    {4×1 double}    {4×1 double}    {4×1 double}    {5×1 double}

c4 = c3(1:3)

c4 = 1×3 cell array
    {4×1 double}    {4×1 double}    {4×1 double}

Would:

ThreeFirst = cell2mat(CCC(1:3));

do the trick?
