Hello,
I have a cell
'0040e3d8'
'0042f207'
'00431411' .....
What I want to do it pull the last value out. This cell can be of different lengths, but I always want the last value. I try c = temp(end), but it pulls the entire string in.

Your question is not clear. It would have been easier if you had indicate what you meant by "last value".
Have you tried temp{end} and temp{end}(end) ?

Is this what you mean?
c = {'0040e3d8';'0042f207';'00431411'};
c{end}(end)

Just a guess. Did you want this:
ca = {'0040e3d8';'0042f207';'00431411'}
cm = cell2mat(ca)
lastChars = cm(:, end)
In the command window you'll see:
ca =
'0040e3d8'
'0042f207'
'00431411'
cm =
0040e3d8
0042f207
00431411
lastChars =
8
7
1
Note: This only works if all your strings are the same length (8 in this case). Of course if you knew in advance that they were all the same size you'd probably build it as a character array to start with rather than a cell array.

C = ...
{'00dgey46440e3d8'
'0042f207'
'00dfd431411'}
lasts = cellfun(@(x)x(end),C)
