Hi,
Let's say that I have a simple table like so:
lat = [49, 50, 51, 52];lat = lat'lon = [-99, -100, -101, -102];lon = lon'T = table (lat, lon)
Now let's say that I wanted to add a station name based on the latitude in a new column 'station'. I could do like the code below but I am limited to using a single character as the station name (A, B, C or D) otherwise I get the following error: Unable to perform assignment because the size of the left side is 1-by-1 and the size of the right side is 1-by-9. Also, if I have a large number of stations I am going to have to add 2 lines for every stations which is clumsy. So. Is there a better way to do this (by better I mean a way that would diminish the number of lines required and allow multiple characters in the 'station' column) ?
mask = T.lat > 48.5 & T.lat < 49.5;T.STATION(mask) = 'A';mask = T.lat > 49.5 & T.lat < 50.5;T.STATION(mask) = 'B';mask = T.lat > 50.5 & T.lat < 51.5;T.STATION(mask) = 'C';mask = T.lat > 51.5 & T.lat < 52.5;T.STATION(mask) = 'D';
