Creating a table from different sized vectors

I have a number of vectors (x1,y1,x2,y2, etc) with different lengts and I want to extract them to a .csv containing all these. Specifically,
  • 1st column = x1 (289 rows)
  • 2nd column = y1 (289 rows)
  • 3rd column = x2 (300 rows)
  • 4th column = y2 (300 rows)
I try to use the horzcat but it does not work due to different size. Any ideas or solutions?

Rather than storing these in numbered variables these vectors should really be stored in a cell array. Then the task becomes a trivial loop with indexing to allocate the vectors into a proallcoated array.
Numbered variables are invariably a bad idea:

Hi, you could try:
A = nan(no_of_columns, longest_array); % or zeros or whatever you want to fill the unused spaces
and then (or for example in a for loop):
A(1:length(x1),1) = x1;
A(1:length(y1),2) = y1;
...
I hope this is what you want

hey,
what if I have two columns each one of them 2xn (like 2x4012, and 2x9877) fo instance the columns represent points coordinates, how can I save the 2 columns in a table??
Thanks.

Depends on what you want to appear in the "empty" spot. You could use NaN. Then
M = [[x1; nan], [y1; nan], x2, y2]
and then export the matrix M.
One possibility is to store them in a cell array first, in which case empty will be empty.
M = cell(300,4);
M(1:299,1) = num2cell(x1);
M(1:299,2) = num2cell(y1);
M(:,3) = num2cell(x2);
M(:,4) = num2cell(y2);
I'd just use fprintf() and write it out manually.
