Can you extract an element from an array in the same line as you create the array?

Hi,
I am wondering if it possible to extract data from an array in the same line as the array is created. The purpose is to remove the need for a separate line of code in which the data is extracted.
Example of separate array creation and data extraction:
s = "hello world";
t = split(s, " "); % In this line the array "t" is created
t(1) % In this line the first element of "t" is extracted
>> ans =
"hello"
My question: Can lines 2 and 3 be combined? Something like this:
t = split(s, " ")(1)
>> ans =
"hello"
Thanks in advance,
Jack

No, unfortunately in matlab, you cannot index directly into the return value of a function.
You could use subsref as demonstrated by Madhan to do the indexing, however I would advise against that.Yes, subsref is the function actually called when you perfom indexing but the lack of clarity and the high chance of making a mistake don't make it worth it just so you can write one line of code instead of two.

Why not?
regexp(s,'\w*','match','once')

subsref will always work (as long as you've constructed the arguments properly). My point was that using it for the sake of saving one line is not a good idea as it makes the code more obscure. I would always favour clarity over conciseness. It is often said that code is Write Once Read Many, so you should concentrate on making the code easier to read even if it takes longer to write.
