Loop Through a Cell Array

I have a csv file with the data (ignore whitespaces below only for readable):
State,  Rain, Sunshine,
Indiana,  52,    25,
Kansas,   45,    22,
Georgia   35,    55,
Texas     22,    30,
Arizona   60,    12,
I need to create a for loop that will step through the cell array State:
       State = {'Indiana','Kansas','Georgia','Texas','Arizona'}
       for n = 1:numel(states)
and generate a separate plot for Rain vs. Sunshine for each state.
Thanks,
Amanda

				Do you have multiple entries for each state? Are they ordered somehow, such as there being one entry per state per period and the next occurrence of the state indicates the next period? It is difficult to generate a useful plot based on one data point.

      for k=1:length(State)
curstate=State{k};
//now go on
plot(curstate(1),curstate(2),'ro')
end

				Are you wanting to produce one graph per state, or are you wanting to produce one graph that has one dot per state? There are other more efficient ways if you want one dot per state combined in a graph.
