Unable to perform assignment because the indices on the left side are not compatible with the size of the right side.

    flag = 1;
    n    = 1;
    while flag == 1
        if feof(fid)
            flag=-1;
        else
            tmp = fgets(fid);
            while size(tmp,2) < columnwidth;tmp = [tmp,' '];end
            subjectID(n,:)=tmp;n=n+1;
        end
    end
      

Recieving this error regarding subjectID(n,:)=tmp;n=n+1;

Ran this script/code previously in Matlab2019 so unsure if this might be why this issue is arising now? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

%if true
  subjectID{n,:}=tmp;n=n+1

Thank you! That worked, however, I am next receiving this error:

Error using cd

Path must be a string scalar or character vector.

In regards to this line of code:

tmp_subjectID = deblank(subjectID(master,:));
        currentdir = [subject_folder,'/',tmp_subjectID,'/mri/assembly'];
        cd (currentdir);

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the defined tmp_subjectID from the prior error?
