Type of error - Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch?

In my main function,outside my for loop in which the calculations are done, I created an array:

driTable = zeros(length(A),2);

where length(A) = 5

I have a function with 2 outputs which have been formatted to 1dp within the function, and has been called in the main function:

[driInput1, driInput2] = dri_calculate( z,z2,beta,g);

This how the outputs have been calculated

driInput1 = sprintf('%4.1f',driInput);
driInput2 = sprintf('%4.1f',driInput);

driInput is calculated from:

driInput = ((beta^2)/g)*(max(z));

Once I've returned these outputs to the main function, I do this:

 driTable(k,1) = driInput1;
 driTable(k,2) = driInput2;

where "k" is the counter of a for-loop. At:

 driTable(k,1) = driInput1;

is where I get my error message. The thing is before I did sprintf and just outputted driInput, I didn't get an error message.

I think your variables driInput1/driInput2 are strings and not numeric. check it. if so, unless they of size one (and they are not) you will not be able to assign each of them inside single element of driTable.

How I do I check it? If they are strings though, how would I assign them to"driTable"

>> whos driInput1

and you get that its Type is char.

you need to assign it as numeric type

I appreciate your help Ron, it worked.
