How can I create a new cell array from an existing one?

Hi,

I have this:

Country =

{

[1,1] = "SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA"

[2,1] = "Eastern Africa"

[3,1] = "Burundi"

[4,1] = "Comoros"

}

But I need to strip out the quotes like this:

Country_new = {}

Country_new = {}(0x0)

>> Country_new(1) = Country{1}(2:end-1)

Country_new =

{

[1,1] = SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

}

>> Country_new(2) = Country{2}(2:end-1)

Country_new =

{

[1,1] = SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

[1,2] = Eastern Africa

etc

But when I try:

Country_new(3:4) = Country{3:4}(2:end-1)

error: a cs-list cannot be further indexed

I just need a one liner to do the job on each of the elements all at once. I tried with a for loop:

Country_new = {}

for a = 1 : numel(Country)

Country_new(a) = Country{a}(2:end-1);

end

but I don't think it's right because it seems to take too long.

Thanks
