Hi guys.
"
 D=importdata('data 1.xls'); 
    % (D=  '11'      
           '12'      
           '13' 
           '14'   
           '15'
           '16'      
           ....
           ...
           ..
           .       )
    if  answer == D{1}
        %event




    elseif answer == D{2}
        %event
    elseif answer == D{3}
        %event
    elseif answer == D{4}
        %event
      ...
      ...
    elseif anser == D{n}
        %event
    end
   hard to write by hand is too long
   how do i write this shorter? or did can be done?

Best Answer

Define your event to take in the index, e.g:
function event(val,idx);
 %do stuff with val,idx
end
Then call it with:
idx = find(cellfun(@(c)c==answer,D),1,'first');
event(D{idx},idx);
EDIT per comment:
idx = find(cellfun(@(c)c==answer,D),1,'first');
disp(D{idx})
