% The following error "??? Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.

    Error in ==> my_test at 162
    if ~isempty (raw_data_012{xyz});"
is actually appearing every time "(raw_data_012{xyz})=[]"

I think the solution is easy but it is taking me lots of time and am not able to find it, can anyone help please ?

Many thanks

Maybe raw_data_012 is not a cell array? Type

raw_data_012

What do you get?

Hi Abdelmalek

raw_data_012= []

thanks

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Sorry type

whos raw_data_012

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

If a is not a cell array, for example

a=2
a{1}

you will get the same message

raw_data_012 is an empty double array. You can't use curly brackets { } , used only with cell array. Also your array is empty. what are you expecting with raw_data_012{xyz}

[LE FOU]

ok so what is the solution ? if I use parenthesis it won't work too

thanks

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Your array is empty, what solution are you expecting from us?

[LE FOU]

What I want to do is if the array is empty that matlab will jump to else continue that's all

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Then use

if ~isempty (raw_data_012)

[LE FOU]

ok thanks
