I have a struct variable that has 20 fields. 11 f them are row matrices of about 24536 x 1 double, while the remaining are either characters, strings and arrays of different dimensions.
i am using if statement to compare the size of each field but it is still giving me some fields that should be omitted.
Code:
b=size(second{1,1}); % second is the cell array and i am using the size of first cell array value
if size(second{i,1}) == b
statements
else
remove field
end
but it is still not removing some of the fields that do not have same dimensions

Can you upload the data (or a small, representative sample) in a MAT file?
Also, in the statement
if size(second{i,1}) == b
what is i? Are you doing this inside a for loop? It would be best if you included a self-contained piece of code that we can run.

use isequal to compare items that might not be the same size. That is, for arrays with more than two dimensions size() would not be of length 2.
