if i get it right and you just want to select values from this "table", its showing you on how to access them.

hello, i want to access of the first element from zz{1,1} to zz{1,6}.

[Marcel]

should work with zz{1:6} or zz(1:6). the way matlab uses brackets etc confused me from time to time. best way to learn is to experiement

[Marcel]

explaination would be nice as i didnt use that myself too yet sooooo. would love to know and others for sure too

Thank you. It works.

As far as I understood, this is wanted: [zz{1}(1), zz{2}(1), zz{3}(1), etc.]
