How to use strsplit in cell arrays

I have a cell array (named B) with the following dimensions (120 x 1) filled with what I believe are strings. Following is an example of the first 2 cells of the array.

Message_2 = hex2dec('2');

Message_4A = hex2dec('4A');

and so on....

I would like to create a new array (120 x 1) that would output:

2

4A

so on...

I am able to take the contents of one cell, convert into a character and then use the strsplit by delimiter to get what I need. But I am not able to do this for the whole cell array. when I use the cellfun with the char function or the strsplit, I am getting errors.

>> B = {'Message_2 = hex2dec(''2'');','Message_4A = hex2dec(''4A'');'};
>> regexp(B,'(?<=\()[^)]+','once','match')
ans =
 '2'
 '4A'

Hi Stephen, thanks for your answer. Say my cell array is called "B" with dimensions (120 x 1). Is there a way to avoid writing individual strings in the code and just use the name of the array (B)?. Thanks!

@alekhya ratnala: I only wrote that cell array B as an example, so that my code has something to work with. Of course you should use your B cell array: the first argument to regexp is your cell array, whatever it might be called.
