Putting commas and colons

Hi all, I'm trying to access an index in the last dimension of a distributed array, is there any function that puts the number of colon+comma I want? For example:

x = distributed.rand(3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3);
% I want to access:
x(:,:,:,:,:,:,:,2)
% I need something to put these :,:,:,:,:,

but since my data doesn't always have the same dimensions I cannot just hard code these :,:,:,:, so I was wondering if there's any alternative way to access some index from the last dimension.

x = rand(3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3);
Y = repmat({':'},1,7);
x(Y{:},2)
