If I have N vectors of different length how would i isolate and return the vector of the smallest length? I dont care what the length is i just need which is the smallest one.

If you "have them" in cell array form, then you could do something like this:
>> vectors={[3 4 5],[1,2],[5 6 7 8]}
vectors =
  1×3 cell array
    {1×3 double}    {1×2 double}    {1×4 double}
>> [~,imin]=min(cellfun('length',vectors));
>> smallest=vectors{imin}
smallest =
     1     2
