access to string data in cell array-

I have read the matlab help on it and still have some questions-

with strings in the cell array- I want to enter to just the first two chars of the string, how can I do that?

   anscell{1,1}= 

   'LThand.jpg'

   'aa1=strcmp('LT',anscell{1:5,1}(1:2));'

because for now I get an error-

Bad cell reference operation.

   Error in a (line 5)
   aa1=strcmp({'LT'},anscell{1:5,1}(1:2));

Try this:

anscell=  {'LTlHSPRY','LTsalove','ohw','sdaer','siht','LTRDUDE'}
aa1 = cellfun(@(x) strcmp('LT',x(1:2)),anscell)
