Removing elements from a cell array

this is the cell array i am working on it.

intpop =

    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}
    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}
    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}
    {3x10 cell}    {3x9  cell}    {3x9  cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}
    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x9  cell}    {3x10 cell}    {3x10 cell}

this is one of its elements.

intpop{4,1}=

    [1]    [5]    [7]    [4]    [2]    [1]     []     []     []     []
    [1]    [5]    [6]    [2]    [4]    [7]    [3]    [5]    [1]    [1]
    [3]    [7]    [2]    [5]    [4]    [6]    [1]    [2]    [4]    [3]

What i want is: Remove the one element and other elements move left so empty element will appear at the end. For example:

I want to remove second row third column element=[6]. All other elements move left one cell so empty cell will be at the end.

This is the resulting array

intpop{4,1}=

    [1]    [5]    [7]    [4]    [2]    [1]     []     []     []     []
    [1]    [5]    [2]    [4]    [7]    [3]    [5]    [1]    [1]    []
    [3]    [7]    [2]    [5]    [4]    [6]    [1]    [2]    [4]    [3]

I do not get this: "Remove the one element". Can you clarify?

My suggestion: write a function that takes a single cell (like intpop{4,1}) that does what you're after

function OUT = my function(IN)
OUT = IN ;
OUT{4,1} = 'test' ;

and then call this function for every cell of intpop using CELLFUN

Y = cellfun(@myfunction, intpop)

Hi,

something like this?

intpop{4,1}(2,:) = [intpop{4,1}(2, setdiff(1:size(intpop{4,1},2), 3)) {[]}]
