@joseph: From the comments later on we see, that your data are not A='00003H102', but that you talk of a cell string. Please care for posting the real input data, because posting wrong answers for wrong inputs wastes your and our time. Thanks.
What is the wanted result, when the string has less than 6 characters?

A='00003H102'
A(1:6)
If you have a cell array
A={'00003H102','00003H103','00003H104'}
B=cellfun(@(x) x(1:6),A,'un',0)

A={'00003H102','00003H103','00003H104','00003'}
idx=cellfun(@(x) min(numel(x),6),A,'un',0)
B=cellfun(@(x,y) x(1:y),A,idx,'un',0)

B = regexp(A,'^.{0,6}','match')
B = cat(1,B{:});
