Deleting sepecific character from cell array

Hi Helpers,
I have a cell array in which some cell has " that I would like to delete such as, '"22000' or '"contig_2012'. (I want it as '22000' or 'contig_2012')
Will be great if you could help me to delete all of them from the cell.
Thanks, Shilo

This sounds like a job for a regular expression (albeit a simple one)
x = {'"22000'; '"contig_2012'; 'abc'};
regexprep(x, '"', '')

% in this example we rmove '00' and '123'
A={'123' '1234' '12345' '11' '00'};
idx=cellfun(@(x) isequal(x,'00') | isequal(x,'123'),A);
A(idx)=[]
