After I use importdata MATLAB splits up my data for some reason. The result is 2 fields within one structure, A.data is a 6000x9 double and A.textdata is a 6000x16 cell. The goal is to have one matrix 6000 x 25. Since they have the same number of rows I figured I could combine them using

A1 = [A.data, A.textdata];

however I get the error "Error using cat Dimension must be a real positive finite integer." I am unsure if it is because some of the cells contain strings.

A1 = {A.data{:}; A.textdata{:}};

did not work either.

That does work. However when the new array appears, a 6000 x 25 cell, and I click on the variable to see the data only the first 16 columns show up. Any idea why?
