Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent error for cell2mat

out = 

      '01'
      '0.5846023560E-002'
      '405504.0000'
      '0.9652538155'
      '-0.7828897534E-008'
      '5153.587402'
      '0.2494223175E+001'
      '0.529637577'
      '0.1359485230E+001'

out = 9*1 cell. I need to convert numeric values of each element of out. I applied

cell2mat(out)

but it gives "Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent" error. But when I apply

str2num((cell2mat(out(2))))

second element of out converted numeric value. How can I convert numeric values of each element of out?

To convert it to a numeric array, use str2double:

V = str2double(out)

V =
     1.0000e+000
     5.8460e-003
   405.5040e+003
   965.2538e-003
    -7.8289e-009
     5.1536e+003
     2.4942e+000
   529.6376e-003
     1.3595e+000
