I have a series of structures stored as .mat files in different folders. The path of these files are provided to me via the "path" column in a table named "Table_Feed". I want to load these structs into Matlab and store them in an array called "Store_Data" for further processing:

for i = total_count:-1:1
    Store_Data(i) = load(Table_Feed{i,'path'});
end

The error is:

Subscripted assignment between dissimilar structures.

I tried to check the integrity of the path and .mat files as:

load(Table_Feed{1,'path'});

It worked fine and the struct was inserted into my workspace; I tried for all values of i <= total_count. I would appreciate help on where I went wrong.

"The names and types are always same"

As I showed in my earlier comment, you are getting that error message because you are attempting to concatenate two structures together, which have different fieldnames. Where those structures come from and why they have different fieldnames is not something that I can tell you: that is your task to debug, because you have that data and can run your code, I cannot (unless you upload everything here required to run the code).

For a start, you should look at whether that structure exists already in the workspace, and also check the content of the MAT files. You need to investigate what really is happening, not just rely on what you think is happening.

Type

dbstop if error

run your code, when it breaks with the error, type

Store_Data

and

sload = load(Table_Feed{i,'path'})

and report the results (you'll see why the structures are dissimilar).

I copy my answer fromthis thread

Usage is typically like this:

cellresult = cell(1,n)
for i=1:n
    % do something first
    % ...
    
    % call iteration subtask that returns a structure or structure array
    cellresult{i} = load(Table_Feed{i,'path'});
    
    % do something else
    % ...
end
dim = 2; % whatever elongation of structresult you want to get
structresult = catstruct(dim, cellresult); % function mfiles attached
