Hi,
Which function should i use if I want to test whether two samples with different sizes have different means? I see many ttest functions in matlab

>> ttest2(x,y)
where "x" and "y" are the vectors of your two samples.

if you see this, i am trying t do a t-test with two sets of unequal size. i do not care about the size difference, is there anyway to bypass this - other than doing it manually ?

Yes, still dedicated.
I'm unsure of what you mean, specifically I am not sure what you are trying to "bypass".
When you say "size", I assume you referring to the number of observations in each sample. ttest2 doesn't require equal-sized samples. (If you input two samples into ttest, it will do a pairwise test, and will require equal-sized samples.)
What specifically are you testing for, between the two samples? Whether or not they have different means? Or something else?
A careful reading of the documentation should answer your question.
