Cell2mat - creating a matrix from mismatched cell sizes

Does anyone know how to create a matrix from a cell array where some of the cells have different lengths? Basically my instrument got interrupted when writing it's output file and finished halfway through a line. I don't want to discard the file as it's 99% complete. Is there another command which selectively converts a given sample size of a cell?

If your data is initially acquired as a file, how did it get into cell array form? Why would you import the file to a cell array if you ultimately want it to be a vector?

I get the following error when applying the above code:

No, you cannot do that. So what you do instead is figure out where the smaller lines are and pad those rows with enough NaN to match the size of the other rows. Then you can cell2mat()

prevlen = sum(cellfun(@length, C(end-1,:)));
lastlen = sum(cellfun(@length, C(end,:))));
C{end,end} = [C{end,end}, NaN(1,prevlen - lastlen)];

C=yourCellArrayWithDifferentSizes;
maxLengthCell=max(cellfun('size',C,2)); %finding the longest vector in the cell array
for i=1:length(C)
for j=cellfun('size',C(i),2)+1:maxLengthCell
C{i}(j)=0; %zeropad the elements in each cell array with a length shorter than the maxlength
end
end
A=cell2mat(C); %A is your matrix

What do you want as output for:
C = {[], 1, 1:2}
?

No, "C" is a cell, which contains vectors of different length. Simply copy it to the command window and run it. It is exactly what you have explained by:
... a cell array where some of the cells have different lengths?
Now you ask us for creating a matrix from such an input. So how should the output look like in this case?
