MATLAB: Acessing cell arrays with different number of rows

Question

Hi,

I have cell array "out" 1×123 cells. Within each cell of out{1,1}, <1×3 cells. How can I access 2 and 3 columns of each cell within "out" and store in flows2 matrix. I am having a difficulty because each cell of "out" has different number of rows.

So, I tried this way

for j=1:length(csvFiles)
    formatOut = 'yyyy';
    flows2(:,j)=[str2num(datestr(datenum([out{1,j}{1,2}],1900),formatOut)) [out{1,j}{1,3}]];
end

I am receiving this error. Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.

My question is, any other efficient way of doing this?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

The only option I can see is to create flows2 as a cell array:

flows2{j} = ...
