Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.

Hi

I have the vector price <1xn struct> in which we have a several information about a price of a stock. I want to have a vector in which we have all tickers name of the stock, with the following:

 nome=zeros(size(price));

   for t=1:size(price,2);
       nome(1,t)= price(1, t).Ticker;
   end

but I have the error: Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.

It is not possible to have a vector of strings in MATLAB, because strings are really vectors of characters. You will need to use cell arrays of strings:

nome{1,t} = price(1, t).Ticker;

thanks, but now give me the following error: Cell contents assignment to a non-cell array object.

Did you clear nome before you tried that? You might have a version of nome left over from before.

yeah but with the following code

for t=1:size(price,2);
       nome(1,t)= price(1, t).Ticker;
   end

i obtain only a cell of 1x1, indeed 1xn

I have solved it thx
