Select only the matrices within the cell

Hi. A simple method to select only the matrices within the cell?

I am trying to do something like this with this code but it doesn't save the matrices as the for loop progresses:

cell_new = {};

for ii = 1:8
    matrix = cell{1, ii};
    if isempty(matrix)        
        matrix_ex = cell{1, ii + 2};     
    else
        matrix_ex = matrix;
    end
end

cell_new = [cell_new; {matrix_ex}];

Why not try it this way:

cell_new = {}; % Empty cell.
for k = 1: numel(originalCell)
    matrix = originalCell{k};
    if ~isempty(matrix)        
        cell_new = [cell_new; {matrix_ex}];
    end
end

Does this do what you want?

% Make up some input data, with one cell remaining empty
A = cell(3,1);
A{1} = rand(2,5);
A{3} = rand(7,11);

% Find the empty cells
indexToEmpty = cellfun(@isempty,A);

% Get only the non-empty cells;
B = A(~indexToEmpty)

B = 2×1 cell array
    {2×5  double}
    {7×11 double}

C = {rand(2), [], rand(3), [], [], rand(4)};
newC = C(~cellfun('isempty', C))

newC = 1×3 cell array
    {2×2 double}    {3×3 double}    {4×4 double}
