hello, I want to find the distance from the lat lat station to the coastline. following my script, but there was an error that I did not understand, I thank anyone who provided advice and helped me.

lonlat = load ('lonlat.mat');%get lonlat allstasiun
coast = load('coast.dat');
% % Preallocate
coast_indexes = size(lonlat);
distancefromcoast = size(lonlat);
% % Find distance and corresponding coastal point  
for i=1:1:numel(lonlat)  
    [dist, az] = distance(lonlat(i), lonlat(i), coast.lat, coast.long);
    [distancefromcoast(i),coast_indexes(i)] = min(dist);
end

Please share 'lonlat.mat'

Should be 'coast.mat' also distance('lonlat(i),lonlat(i)'... does'nt look appropriate

Technically, you should use spherical trigonometry (great circle path) to determine the shortest distance. The algorithm is not difficult. You could solve my Cody problem: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/45180
