Using Matlab with Antelope

I'm currently using parameter files, and i'm running into a problem while attempting to extract a matrix from a parameter file.

I'm using

variable_1 = pfget_tbl(pf,'variable_in_pf_file')

The variable in the pf file is defined as such

variable_in_pf_life &Tbl{
50
75
}

My method works, except the output with I do

disp(variable_1)

is

lonlim = 

    [-180]
    [-120]

instead of the desired

-180     -120

Is there any way to make this change?

basically I need to convert a cell array into a matrix

str2double doesn't work because of the brackets, I just get

NaN NaN

cell2mat(lonlim)

doesn't work, but I found an alternative.

lonlim_new=[lonlim_array{1},lonlim_array{2}];
