Answer 1

Suppose we have a cell as follows:

my_cell = {'Hello World'}  
class(my_cell)
ans = 
cell

We can get the string out of it simply by using the {:} operator on it directly.

   class(my_cell{:})
    ans =
    char

Note that we can use the expression mycell{:} anywhere we would use a normal string.
