condition check from matfile

i have wanted to store 'value' and 'text' in a matfile....

value=[1; 2; 3; 4];

text=['J for Java';'M for Matlab';'C for cobol';'F for FORTRAN'];

when i try to save them in one matfile error is coming... i tried like this

save MatFilename value text

i wanted to save these values in a matfile... then i have a variable.... if the variables value is 3, i need to check whether that value is in the matfile and if it is in 'value' i need to display the third string from the 'text'

The problem is in your text variable, you can't use vertical concatenation with string with different sizes

Answer 1

[TAB]

Use,

save('Filename.mat','value','text')

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

text=['J for Java';'M for Matlab';'C for cobol';'F for FORTRAN'];

would not be valid. It attempts to create a character array with different number of characters per row. Use {} instead of []
