If that is the way it needs to be done--so be it.  Ugly!

Welcome to Matlab.

A null matrix, [], is filtered out when creating a new matrix.


[1, 2, [], 3, 4]

ans =

   1   2   3   4


However, a null cell, {}, causes the matrix to be re-defined as a cell.


[1, 2, {}, 3, 4]
ans =
{
  [1,1] =  1
  [1,2] =  2
  [1,3] =  3
  [1,4] =  4
}


This seems really odd.
