outputFile is a 1x2 cell that contains 2 string names ('apple' and 'peach')

I want to assign those names to the output of a file:

outputFile(1) = importdata(char(filename(1)))

I get the following error:

Error using subsindex Function 'subsindex' is not defined for values of class 'cell'.

How can I get it to do what I need if it can do it? Any suggestions would help?

The proper way is to make the names dynamic fields of a struct, e.g.,

s.(outputFile{1})=....

I get the following error: Error using subsindex Function 'subsindex' is not defined for values of class 'cell'.

Don't think so. Not from the code you've shown. A full copy/paste of the error message text would reveal more, however.

I saved the file and cleared my workspace and now it works. Thanks.
