Is there a way of changing
{{[1,2]},{'ab'}} to {[1,2],'ab'}, without looking at cells individually, and without using a loop? I have a cell array about 1000 by 1000 to which I want to apply such an operation. The example I give is a 1 by 2 example.

Thanks
David

A = {{[1,2]},{'ab'}} 
A = 
    {1x1 cell}    {1x1 cell}

A = [A{:}]
A = 
    [1x2 double]    'ab'

I suppose you want to preserve original size of the cell of cells, in which case Oleg's answer is not appropriate, because it works only for 1 by N cells

Do as following :

>> A = { {[1,2]},{'ab'}; {[3,4,5]},{'cde'}; {[6]},{'f'} }

A = 

    {1x1 cell}    {1x1 cell}
    {1x1 cell}    {1x1 cell}
    {1x1 cell}    {1x1 cell}

>> B = reshape([A{:}], size(A))

B = 

    [1x2 double]    'ab' 
    [1x3 double]    'cde'
    [         6]    'f'
