Extract the first two digits from a cell number

Hello!

I have a cell array, and i need to extract the first two digits.

946210.887239541	 5834.79659950033	2331.48462622471	1082.03333024461	555.948997161636	386.857494592061		
163514355.623239	 86011.7585899832	33427.7515152879	15281.0376072647	7801.56366753683	4742.13225247842	

example:

94 58 23 ..

16 86 33 ..

i try this, cellfun(@(v)v(2),""+vnc)-'0'; but it return the 2 digit..

Any ideia?

thanks

vnc = { ...
    946210.887239541	 5834.79659950033	2331.48462622471	1082.03333024461	555.948997161636	386.857494592061		
    163514355.623239	 86011.7585899832	33427.7515152879	15281.0376072647	7801.56366753683	4742.13225247842	};

% maybe this is what you had in mind:
cellfun(@(v)v(1:2)-'0',""+vnc,'UniformOutput',false)

ans = 2×6 cell array
    {[9 4]}    {[5 8]}    {[2 3]}    {[1 0]}    {[5 5]}    {[3 8]}
    {[1 6]}    {[8 6]}    {[3 3]}    {[1 5]}    {[7 8]}    {[4 7]}

% or maybe this:
cellfun(@(v)v(1:2),""+vnc,'UniformOutput',false)

ans = 2×6 cell array
    {'94'}    {'58'}    {'23'}    {'10'}    {'55'}    {'38'}
    {'16'}    {'86'}    {'33'}    {'15'}    {'78'}    {'47'}

% alternatively, returning a matrix of 2-digit numbers:
vnc_mat = cell2mat(vnc);
floor(vnc_mat.*10.^(1-floor(log10(vnc_mat))))

ans = 2×6

94 58 23 10 55 38 16 86 33 15 78 47
