Hi! I think this is a syntax-type question:
I want to use cd to change between directories that are stored in a looping variable. What would be the syntax so cd('path'); can be performed, 'path' being :\Users\p_jarami\A\'

projectdir = 'C:\Users\p_jarami\A\';
cd(projectdir)
You should avoid using a variable named "path" as that variable means special things to MATLAB.

You could try the solution in the answer you are replying to!! You went to the trouble of finding a relevant question and commenting on an answer so why not simply apply the answer?!
cd( A )
It's highly unlikely that using cd and changing directory in a loop is a good idea in most cases, but that is another matter, depending what you are doing. Using full paths to files is generally far better.

what worked for me was cd(char(A)) since A was actually a cell even though it looked like a string
