Row vector and corresponding column vector for each row

I want to create a single row vector with each element of the row array being a column vector and I want to access a certain element of any row number and the column which would be user-defined.

... a single row vector with each element of the row array being a column vector...

What do you mean? A matrix? A row-vector like cell-array with column vectors?

...I want to access a certain element of any row number and the column...

Don't you want to create a row vector? row vector is supposed to have only one row!

"...I want to access a certain element of any row number and the column which would be user-defined"

It sounds like a matrix would satisfy those requirements.

The thing is that I need the output for the corresponding path of elements. That's why maybe this might help. Besides, the elements to be entered need not necessarily be integers, it can be a string or even .img files. What I basically need is to show output of a specified element.

Suppose there is a file named A which has several rows ..each row has many elements linked. Now let us find the path of the 5th element. The output should be such that - A\b\c\d\e.img (the target file being a .img format one)

@KL i want a row vector with each element of row vector being a column vector which can store string values

Something like this?

% two cell arrays (being column vectors) of strings
c1 = {'hello', 'friend'}
c2 = {'my' ; 'name' ; 'is' ; 'joe'}

% create cell row vector holding these cell array of strings
r = {c1 c2}

Thanks. But i want it to be as user input. That would work i think. But how do i get path for element? Like suppose i want path for joe it should be r\c2\joe .

And it appeared as two different arrays. Can't it be in a single one? Like hello would have certain things and so would friend! .. like a rectangular matrix sort of thing only, not a matrix.

Sorry, you've lost me. I suggest you read the Getting Started section of the manual and learn about cell arrays and structs. These might be what you are looking for.
