Indexing Nested Cell Arrays

To index nested cells, concatenate subscripts in the indexing string. The first set of subscripts accesses the top layer of cells, and subsequent sets of braces access successively deeper layers of cells.

For example, array A illustrates nested cell arrays. A is a 1-by-2 cell array itself and it contains a 2-by-2 cell array nested in cell {1,2}.

Indexing the First Level

To access the 2-by-2 cell array in cell (1,2):

mlfIndexRef(A, "{?,?}", mlfScalar(1), mlfScalar(2))

In MATLAB A{1,2} performs the same operation.

Indexing the Second Level

To access the scalar value in position {2,2} of the cell array in cell {1,2}:

mlfIndexRef(A, "{?,?}{?,?}",
            mlfScalar(1), mlfScalar(2),
            mlfScalar(2), mlfScalar(2))

A{1,2}{1,1} in MATLAB performs the same operation.
