Operate a string in a cell matrix

Hi, I have a cell matrix imported from excel:
[39] [1232] [ 567] [ NaN]
[40] [ 48] [ 41] [ 949]
[41] [ 48] [ 1686] [ 40]
[42] [ 754] [ 753] [ 40]
[43] [ 48] '800 1069 1152' [ 983]
[44] [ 43] [ 48] '700 109 152'
[45] [ 52] [ 1340] [ 1363]
[46] [1340] [ 45] [ 1594]
there are all number with each taking one gird in excel except two "800 1069 1152" and '700 109 152' taking a single grid. In matlab, by [num,txt,raw] = xlsread() the raw matrix is a cell matrix with '800 1069 1152' a string. Is there a way I want to just keep 800, and 700 from those two strings, and convert this cell matrix to a normal matrix for future programming?
Thank you for any suggestion Kyle

A={[39] [1232] [ 567] [ NaN]
[40] [ 48] [ 41] [ 949]
[41] [ 48] [ 1686] [ 40]

[45] [ 52] [ 1340] [ 1363]

r=cellfun(@(x) isstr(x),A)
q=cellfun(@(x) regexp(x,' ','split'),A(r),'uni',false)
A(find(r==1))=num2cell(cellfun(@(x) str2num(x{1}),q))
out=cell2mat(A)

thank you Azzi
Some simplifications:
r = cellfun('isclass', A, 'char');
A(r) = cellfun(@(x) sscanf(x, '%g', 1), A(r), 'uni', false);
out = cell2mat(A);

Hello Kyle,
Solution is fairly straightforward.
First you can identify the locations where '*xlsread*' bailed out, by looking for the NaN in the matrix p,
[p,q,r]=xlsread('xl_file_name.xls')
[R,C]=find(isnan(p))
and then work to extract the first element, which is what you mention in the post, from 'cell-string' of numbers to a 'double' type. You can do this by, working your way through the row-column index
for idx = 1:length(R)
long_str = r{R(idx),C(idx)};% pickup the long string
t=regexp(long_str,' ','split'); %split it into n-element strings
r{R(idx),C(idx)}=str2double(t{1});% convert to double
end
Finally the magic step is to convert your cell-matrix into a regular matrix,
p = cell2mat(r);
Together your code should look like,
[p,q,r]=xlsread('xl_file.xls')
[R,C]=find(isnan(p))
for idx = 1:length(R)
long_str = r{R(idx),C(idx)};% pickup the long string
t=regexp(long_str,' ','split'); %split it into n-element strings
r{R(idx),C(idx)}=str2double(t{1});% convert to double
end
p = cell2mat(r)
