MATLAB: Split individual cell into multiple cells

cell array

I have a variable that I've imported into my workspace which has the following format:
TIMESTAMP
20100101
20100102
20100103
etc
How can I split the individual cells so that they are individual variables with only the year, month or day? As in: 2010
2010
2010 and
01
02
03
etc.
Thanks a bunch! K

Answered my own question and will post for anyone who has the same issue. datevec extracts the month and day. Example:
t=datevec(TIMESTAMP)
55004  10  29  0  0  0
55004  10  30  0  0  0
55004  10  31  0  0  0
55004  11  1  0  0  0
55004  11  2  0  0  0
Then just reference specific columns of t. As in:
Month=t(:, 2);
