How do I create a new array each time there is an empty matrix in a cell array.

I have a cell array and I want to create a new array each time an empty cell is encountered. so for example, I may have: [1 2 3] [4 5 6] [7 8 9] [] [3 2 1] [4 7 6] [] [6 8 7]

So in this case I would want 3 separate arrays created with the following:

array1= [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9] array2= [3 2 1 4 7 6] array3= [6 8 7]

One way:

C = your cell array
x = [0, find(cellfun(@isempty,C)), numel(C)+1];
n = numel(x)-1;
result = cell(1,n); 
for k=1:n
    result{k} = cell2mat(C(x(k)+1:x(k+1)-1)); 
end
result(cellfun(@isempty,result)) = [];

Thank you very much James, this works perfectly.
