MATLAB: Worki ng with cells

cells

hey all,
i have a cell of <1×20> dimensions and each cell contains two x-values in a coordinate.
I want to work with these two coordinates separately, but I dont know how to access them?
 Xidx1 = 
Columns 1 through 5
    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]
Columns 6 through 10
    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]
Columns 11 through 15
    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]
Columns 16 through 20
    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [1x2 double]    [0]

Get the 2nd coordinate of the 3rd pair:
element = Xidx1{3}(2)
The power of a cell array is to store elements of different size and/or type. In your case only the last element contains a deviating contents. Is the [0] useful for anything? If not, you can concatenate the vectors to a matrix:
index   = cat(1, Xidx1{1:end-1});
element = index(3, 2);
