How to populate a cell array from another cell array?

9 views (last 30 days)
I want to populate a cell array called "labels". "Labels" should contain 4 labels for each measurement, so If I'm not wrong the cell array will be 1x4
The cell array where the info is from is called "m_test" which is a 23x117 cell. In order to populate "labels" is just needed the first row and take the first 4 data (starting at the second column), then the other 4 and so on
Some of you have any idea in how to do that?
Thank you so much

It is not clear what elements you need extracted. But you can use regular indexing with cell arrays. E.g.,
result = m_test(1,2:5)
would pick off the elements in the first row and columns 2 through 5. Etc.

Thank you. Do you know how to do it repeatedly? like in a loop. Because I need to do exactly that but then I'll need to pick off in the first row elements from columns 6 through 9, then 10 through 13, and so on until 114 through 117.
Appreciate your help and time

for k=2:4:size(m_test,2)
result = m_test(1,k:k+3);
% code that uses result goes here
end
