Simple arithmetic calculation question

1 view (last 30 days)
Hey just had an easy question that I cant seem to solve. Basically this is what I want to do, but it isnt working... (I think you get the gist of what Im trying to do by looking at the incorrect code)
datastr='0201+03158+04424-06291+05555-004556+003275-090965+014850000003100011F39 02+00364+01836-02658+09456+020408+000839-093108+019160000003100011F39 00004CE4'
data.Q0=str2double(datastr(5:10))/10000;
data.Qx=str2double(datastr(11:16))/10000;
data.Qy=str2double(datastr(17:22))/10000;
data.Qz=str2double(datastr(23:28))/10000;
data.Tx=str2double(datastr(29:35))/100;
data.Ty=str2double(datastr(36:42))/100;
data.Tz=str2double(datastr(43:49))/100;
data.Q02=str2double(((datastr(75:80))/10000)) - data.Q0;
data.Qx2=str2double(((datastr(81:86))/10000)) - data.Qx;
data.Qy2=str2double(((datastr(87:92))/10000)) - data.Qy;
data.Qz2=str2double(((datastr(93:98))/10000)) - data.Qz;
data.Tx2=str2double(((datastr(99:105))/100)) - data.Tx;
data.Ty2=str2double(((datastr(106:112))/100)) - data.Ty;
data.Tz2=str2double(((datastr(113:119))/100)) - data.Ty;

Looking on incorrect code cannot reveal the intention of the code. Please explain "it isn't working" with any details.

Well the error is pretty obvious. The following lines is using parenthesis incorrectly:
data.Q02=str2double(((datastr(75:80))/10000)) - data.Q0;
data.Qx2=str2double(((datastr(81:86))/10000)) - data.Qx;
data.Qy2=str2double(((datastr(87:92))/10000)) - data.Qy;
data.Qz2=str2double(((datastr(93:98))/10000)) - data.Qz;
data.Tx2=str2double(((datastr(99:105))/100)) - data.Tx;
data.Ty2=str2double(((datastr(106:112))/100)) - data.Ty;
data.Tz2=str2double(((datastr(113:119))/100)) - data.Ty;
You want to place your parenthesis so str2double operates only on the datastr() and not the divide by.
data.Q02=str2double(datastr(75:80))/10000 - data.Q0;
data.Qx2=str2double(datastr(81:86))/10000 - data.Qx;
data.Qy2=str2double(datastr(87:92))/10000 - data.Qy;
data.Qz2=str2double(datastr(93:98))/10000 - data.Qz;
data.Tx2=str2double(datastr(99:105))/100 - data.Tx;
data.Ty2=str2double(datastr(106:112))/100 - data.Ty;
data.Tz2=str2double(datastr(113:119))/100 - data.Ty;
