Using the C Math Library

Referencing the Contents of a Cell 

To obtain the contents of a single cell, use braces in the indexing string to indicate that you are referencing the cell contents, not the cell itself.

mlfAssign(&c,
          mlfIndexRef(N, "{?,?}", mlfScalar(1), mlfScalar(2)));

c is the string array 'Eric'.

c = N{1,2} performs the same operation in MATLAB.
