Loading multiple matlab files in to a structure

11 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to load multiple matlab files in to a structure using
for m = 1:numel(data)
S(m,1) = load(data{m});
end
Where data is the file path. However i have been encountering the following message.
"Subscripted assignment between dissimilar structures."
Any help appreciated

All your .mat files must contain the same variables, otherwise an error like this is expected. You might try first loading it to a cell to get an idea of what is going wrong (or use breakpoints).

This means that the variables are different across files. In a structure array, all the fields should be the same, hence the error. However, the sub-fields can be different!
So, you can use this approach:
for m = 1:numel(data)
S(m,1).content = load(data{m});
end
