Reshaping Cells

Does anyone know of a way of reshaping cells? That is, suppose I have a {10 x 5} cell array of strings and I want to make it a {1 x 5} cell array of {10 x 1} cell arrays. Is there a nice way of doing this?

I think this should work:

arrayfun(@(idx) B(:,idx), 1:size(B,2), 'Uniform', 0);


You are not really asking for "reshape", as you are changing the nesting
level of the data.

That's exactly what I was after. Thanks. By the way, how does the syntax/logic work with arrayfun? I couldn't find much about what you're doing with it in the function browser. It's just letting you use (idx) as a variable to loop through the array, right?
