replace cell array row with another cell array

Hello!!

I have this cell array:

trials = {'orientations', '-18', '-36', '-54', '-72', '-90', '-108' '-126' '-144' '-162' ; 

'trials', [11 13] [1 10] [7 17] [12 18] [8 14] [5 15] [9 16] [2 3] [4 6]; 'answers' [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []};

I want to replace every empty column of the thrird row with an element from the cell array of the form:

 cell = {'[0 0]' '[0 0]' '[0 0]' '[1 1]' '[0 0]' '[1 1]' '[1 1]' '[1 1]' '[1 0]'};

To be more clear, the end result should look like that :

trials = {'orientations', '-18', '-36', '-54', '-72', '-90', '-108' '-126' '-144' '-162' ; 

'trials', [11 13] [1 10] [7 17] [12 18] [8 14] [5 15] [9 16] [2 3] [4 6]; 'answers' [0 0] [0 0] [0 0] [1 1] [0 0] [1 1] [1 1] [1 1] [1 0]};

I have put the command trials(3, 2: end) = cell(1, 1: end); in my script but nothing happens..It only works if i run my script and afterwards run this command in cmd.. Any ideas why this happens or how I can get the result I want?

Thanks on advance,

~M.

trials(3, 2:end) = cell;

but you are going to have problems with using a variable named cell as that is a key function to create new cell arrays.

I changed the variable "cell" to "mycell" and the command trials(3, 2: end) = cell(1, 1: end); with trials(3, 2: end) = mycell; but it still doesn't work inside the script, only in the cmd...Sorry for the editing.

We will probably need to see the script.

In this script I also use commands from psychtoolbox but the problem is not there anyway. The problem is from line 250 to line 301.

Thanks for your time!!!

I just noticed a cell array from the above was empty. Sorry for the inconvenience..
