MATLAB: Simple for and if loop got wrong…

Question

Hi,

My mind looks like got some water…I just can not figure out what is wrong with this.

for i=1:100,
    if(((data_cell{i,1})<= time)&&((data_cell{i+1,1})> time))
          [row,col]=find(data_cell{i,1});
      end
  end

I just want to find the value point, where data{i,1}is samller than time, and data {i+1,1}is bigger than time… but the result always gives the last value until i is 100… It should find the value and stop the loop…anyone please give some idea…

Thanks.

You appear to be very confused indeed about the usage of find. Assuming that data_cell{:, 1} and time are scalar, and assuming that data_cell{:, 1} is monotonically increasing

data_col1 = cell2mat(data_cell(:, 1));
thresholdpoint = find(data_col1 > time, 1);
