help with nested loops error

Somehow only first step in a loop is executed:

spiketime = (1:3:100);
stim = (1:10:100);

for i=1:size(stim);

      for t = 1:size(spiketime);

                  if  abs(spiketime(t)-stim(i)) < 3;
                  spiketime(t) = [];

                  end
      end
  end

What am I missing?

Replace

size(stim);

by

length(stim)

Well, after a fashion, it will have got rid of one error, but the code definitively won't work as you want. Deleting elements while you're looping over them never works: your loop index will get out of sync with the content of the array.

In any case, a loop is not needed:

spiketime = 1:3:100;  %() brackets unneeded, just add noise
stim = 1:10:100

%in R2016b:
spiketime(any(abs(spiketime - stim.') < 3)) = [];

%in versions prior to R2016b
spiketime(any(abs(bsxfun(@minus, spiketime, stim')) < 3)) = [];
