When defining an anonymous function, how do I utilize cell indexing of an intermediate function?

I have an anonymous function called "epsin" (shown below) which puts its inputs into another, intermediate, anonymous function, called "epsTarray". This "epsin" function is then in turn used in other functions which are then in turn used in optimization fits (using lsqnonlin). My difficulty here is extracting the data within the first cell of the epsTarray function, as it returns a 2x1 cell, and then taking the specific (1,1,:) set within that extracted cell. MATLAB says that this may be invalid syntax and I run into the error "Invalid expression. When calling a function or indexing a variable, use parentheses. Otherwise, check for mismatched delimiters."

Is there a way to make this work, or a way around this problem?

epsin = @(n)(epsTarray(n(1),n(2),n(3),n(4),n(5),n(6),n(7),n(8),n(9),n(10))){1}(1,1,:);

Some more clarity: epsTarray takes in 10 inputs and returns a 2x1 cell of a 3x3x(variable number) double array. epsin is intended to be an array which takes the extracted numbers from the first cell and (1,1,:) places of epsTarray.

Try something like below

epsTarray = @(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9,x10) ... expression 
y = epsTarray(n(1),n(2),n(3),n(4),n(5),n(6),n(7),n(8),n(9),n(10));
epsin = @(n) y{1}(1,1,:)

instead of direct access of data through anonymous function, assign it to an intermediate variable y and then access its contents.

Here's one way. Ultimately, though, it probably makes more sense to be using non-anonymous functions.

epsin=@(n) wrapper(n, epsTarray);

function out=wrapper(n, hfun)

  tmp=hfun(n(1),n(2),n(3),n(4),n(5),n(6),n(7),n(8),n(9),n(10));
  
  out=tmp{1}(1,1,:);

end

I got this to work after some minor modifications (reshaping the out array). Thank you!
