Converting cell to struct with field names

Hi all,
I have a 12x5 cell that I am trying to convert to a structure. I am trying to use the cell2struct function but to no avail.
Right now I have:
structArray = cell2struct(temp, {'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e'}, 5)
Thank you for your help!
Edit1: The first cell in temp{} is a 1x29 cell and the next 4 columns (2:5) are string values
Edit2: The error I get is "Number of field names must match number of fields in new structure."

The 3rd argument is the dimension of the cell array to use for the fields, not the number of fields. You've got 5 field names, so I assume you mean to use the 2nd dimension of your 12x5 cell array for the fields. E.g.,
structArray = cell2struct(temp, {'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e'}, 2)
