how to extract n rows in a matrix column iteratively?

1 view (last 30 days)
i have a matrix A(15,1) looking like this
0.4218
0.9157
0.7922
0.9595
0.6557
0.0357
0.8491
0.9340
0.6787
0.7577
0.7431
0.3922
0.6555
0.1712
0.7060
I want to extract always 3 rows iteratively and put it in a cell,
In the first cell i want to have
0.4218
0.9157
0.7922
in the second cell i want to have
0.9595
0.6557
0.0357
and so on..., i would then end up with 5 cells as this {1,5}(3,1)
is there an easy way to do it without writing several for loops?
Thanks already in advance!

Depending on what you are doing downstream in your code, it may make more sense to simply reshape and then access the columns. E.g.,
B = reshape(A,3,[]);
then in your code use B(:,k) to access the k'th column
But if you really want/need the cell array approach then maybe something like this would suffice
B = mat2cell(A,3*ones(1,numel(A)/3));

out = num2cell(reshape(A,3,[]),1);
or
out = accumarray(ceil((1:numel(A))'/3),A,[],@(x){x});
