I am trying to set up a basic loop for importing/processing csv files. When I run my code I get the error "index in position 2 exceeds array bounds". Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
clear all
%Insert Loop
for i=1:2
%Set file to load
if i==1
filename = 'DOaerationJuly.csv';
end
if i==2
filename = 'DOoutfallJuly.csv';
end
%Load data
delimiterIn = ',';
headerlinesIn = 1;
DOdata = importdata(filename,delimiterIn,headerlinesIn);
%Name Variables: Distance, Time, [DO]
Time = DOdata.data(:,1);
DO = DOdata.data(:,2);
Temp = DOdata.data(:,3)
plot(Time,Temp)
end

Temp = DOdata.data(:,3)
DOdata.data have only 2 columns, you are trying to access 3rd column.

Use readtable() instead of importdata()
The difficulty you are encountering is that the first column is not considered numeric, and so is not being returned as .data by importdata(), so the .data that importdata() returns has column 1 corresponding to DO and column 2 corresponding to Temp . If you use readtable() for a version within the last few years, then it will automatically detect and convert the time to datetime() and will return a total of three columns.
