MATLAB: Cell2mat – creating a matrix from mismatched cell sizes

cell arraysMATLAB

Does anyone know how to create a matrix from a cell array where some of the cells have different lengths? Basically my instrument got interrupted when writing it's output file and finished halfway through a line. I don't want to discard the file as it's 99% complete. Is there another command which selectively converts a given sample size of a cell?

No, you cannot do that. So what you do instead is figure out where the smaller lines are and pad those rows with enough NaN to match the size of the other rows. Then you can cell2mat()
