Resizing of cells in a cell array

Hi all,

I have 84x50 cells array and each cell has a different length (1 row and many columns). I would like to resize it so if length>3, I would like to delete the rest of the values from the row. If length <3 then I would like to add zeros (this I know how to do). In the end, I would each of my cell to has a length of 3 (1 row and 3 columns). Could you please give me a hint on how to show that? Specially with deleting the remaining values.

Thank you!

Use a loop,

 for k=1:numel(C)
   if numel(C(k))<3
      C(k) = [C(k) zeros(1,3-numel(C(k)));
   else
      C(k) = C(1:3)
   end
 end
