How can I convert every floating value in cell to integer?

I have a cell with matrices of different sizes in it .I want to convert every floating value in cell to integer. I tried int16 function but apparently it can only be used for arrays..is there any function for cells?

[per isakson]

Not with a standard function. However, it is possible with a small script

    >> cellfun( @(num) int16(num), {[1,2,3],[4,5]; [6], [7,8] }, 'uni', false )
    ans = 
        [1x3 int16]    [1x2 int16]
        [        6]    [1x2 int16]

[siddhesh rane]

Its not working for my program.. its giving "Conversion to int16 from cell is not possible." error..my line of code is as below

path_raw = cellfun(@int16,code_raw,'uni',false);

Where code_raw is cell.

[per isakson]

It should work if raw_data is a flat cell array, which only contains numerical data.

[per isakson]

It will take more than a few lines of code to convert all numerical data in any cell array to integer.

A few case can be solved by using the function, flatten. Try

    raw = { [1,2,3], [4,5]; {[6],[7,8,9]}, [0] };
    cellfun( @(num) int16(num), raw, 'uni', false )

returns

    Error using int16
    Conversion to int16 from cell is not possible.
    Error in @(num)int16(num)

and

    cellfun( @(num) int16(num), flatten(raw), 'uni', false )

returns

    ans = 
        [1x3 int16]    [6]    [1x3 int16]    [1x2 int16]    [0]

which asks for reshape

Two step approach for mixed cell arrays

C = {(1:10)/3, 'hello',[pi exp(1)]}

tf = cellfun(@isnumeric,C) % which cell are numeric?
C(tf) = cellfun (@(x) int16(x), C(tf),'un',0) % only convert those
