Loop Through a Cell Array

I have a csv file with the data (ignore whitespaces below only for readable):
State, Rain, Sunshine,
Indiana, 52, 25,
Kansas, 45, 22,
Georgia 35, 55,
Texas 22, 30,
Arizona 60, 12,
I need to create a for loop that will step through the cell array State:
State = {'Indiana','Kansas','Georgia','Texas','Arizona'}
for n = 1:numel(states)
and generate a separate plot for Rain vs. Sunshine for each state.
Thanks,
Amanda

Do you have multiple entries for each state? Are they ordered somehow, such as there being one entry per state per period and the next occurrence of the state indicates the next period? It is difficult to generate a useful plot based on one data point.

Yes, I have column of data for each Rain and Sunshine in a spreadsheet. I really need help on this. I've been out this for awhile now.

for k=1:length(State)
curstate=State{k};
//now go on
plot(curstate(1),curstate(2),'ro')
end

Thanks you so much. I had almost given up that someone would come through. IT WORKED PERFECTLY.

Are you wanting to produce one graph per state, or are you wanting to produce one graph that has one dot per state? There are other more efficient ways if you want one dot per state combined in a graph.
