Thread Subject: cells and string allocation

Hallo,

I work with cells in my program. I constrcuted the following:

finalTableAndHeader =

     [] [] [] [] 'prim_sec' 'Name' 'Integral [QL]' 'Bkg [QL]' 'MchipsID'
     [] [] [] [] '1' 'L14_250ng/ul' '89124.0' '67080.0' '02_02_16_19'
     [] [] [] [] '0' 'L14_250ng/ul' '101659.0' '61152.0' '02_02_16_19'
     [] [] [] [] '1' 'L14_650ng/ul' '114324.0' '62400.0' '02_02_16_17'
     [] [] [] [] '0' 'L14_650ng/ul' '142161.0' '67392.0' '02_02_16_17'

Now I want to fill the following cells with:

finalTableAndHeader(1,1)='Field'
finalTableAndHeader(1,1)='Plate'
finalTableAndHeader(1,1)='Letter'
finalTableAndHeader(1,1)='Number'

It does not work, always I get the error message:
??? Conversion to cell from char is not possible.

Error in ==> aidaimportV4 at 105
finalTableAndHeader(1,1)='Field'

The rest of this four columns should be filled with numbers which will be extracted from the column MchipsID. Example: '02_02_16_19' --> Field=2, Plate=2, Letter=16, Number=19

Finaly the finalTableAndHeader should be stored in an ASCII file.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks, Corinna

<SNIP syntax...

> finalTableAndHeader = [] [] [] [] ...
> finalTableAndHeader(1,1)='Field'

should read

     ftah=cell(4,4);
     ftah{1,1}='field';
% -or-
     ftah(1,2)={'pos'};
     ftah

Hi Corinna,

use curly braces to assign values/strings to individual cells:
finalTableAndHeader{1,1}='Field'
