Thread Subject: bioinformatics, getpdb, cell, string

Hi
I have a text file with list of pdb identifier, some like this:

1AFV
1E9N
1FJR
1HD7
1HQJ

I imported this data with
data = importdata('file.txt')

now I want to use function getpdb:
getpdb(data(1))

and error message appear:
Access Number is not a string.

How could I make it work? I try numerous of function but error message still appear;(
Thanks for help

You are passing a -cell- with one string to getpdb, it accepts strings, so you need to pull-out each string with

str = data{i}
getpdb(str)

or just

getpdb(data{1})
