hi everybody, i have the folloying cellarray
a= { 'me' [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0]
'you' [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0]
'he' [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0]}
now I want to check for each row weither the first cell is 'me', you or he and for each result set a specific value to the other cells. I did this
[m,n]=size(a);
for i= 1:m
if a{i,1}=='me' %this doesnt work !
a{i,7}=7;
a{i,3}=7;
end
end

Try using strcmp instead.
if strcmp(a{i,1}, 'me')
...
end
In x==Y, the '==' operator compares x with each element of Y. Using '==' then compares your variable to each character of 'me' since 'me' is actually a character array.
