Hi,
I am trying to extract certain rows of data from the following table (T1) according to specfic conditions. I only want to extract a row if 'TargetStatus' is equal to 'T' and t the same time, 'Response' is equal to 'k' (such as row 2 and row 7 for example). I'm struggling to come up with the correct code that will allow me to do this. I have copied the table below :)
T1 =
24×4 table
Sequence TargetStatus ReactionTime Response
________ ____________ ____________ ________
'C' 'N' 1.1022 'j'
'C' 'T' 1.4261 'k'
'T' 'N' 0.77136 'j'
'D' 'N' 0.77733 'j'
'K' 'N' 1.044 'j'
'X' 'N' 1.0333 'j'
'X' 'T' 0.82694 'k'
'B' 'N' 0.89246 'j'
'W' 'N' 0.86045 'j'
'H' 'N' 0.73916 'j'
'H' 'T' 0.84648 'k'
'T' 'N' 0.91134 'j'
'T' 'T' 0.91947 'k'
'G' 'N' 0.70199 'j'
'G' 'T' 0.81821 'k'
'Z' 'N' 0.79684 'j'
'Q' 'N' 0.94614 'j'
'J' 'N' 0.83011 'j'
'Z' 'N' 0.85475 'j'
'F' 'N' 0.72073 'j'
'F' 'T' 0.64145 'k'
'B' 'N' 0.66913 'j'
'X' 'N' 0.71484 'j'
'X' 'T' 0.8122 'k'
Thank you to anyone who is able to help :)

I think if you want to select rows then the colon operator is in the wrong place, and that you would want something like
T1(strcmp(T1.TargetStatus, 'T') & strcmp(T1.Response, 'k'),:);
But it might really be more convenient to use categorical variables, like this
T1.Sequence = categorical(T1.Sequence)
T1.TargetStatus = categorical(T1.TargetStatus)
T1.Response = categorical(T1.Response)
T1(T1.TargetStatus=='N' & T1.Response=='k',:)
Since you are analyzing RT data, you might find the RawRT toolbox useful. It won't work with categorical variables, so you would have to convert everything to numbers, like this:
T1.Sequence = grp2idx(T1.Sequence);
T1.TargetStatus = grp2idx(T1.TargetStatus);
T1.Response = grp2idx(T1.Response);
But then you could compute a lot of summary stats, graphs, ANOVAs, etc pretty simply, e.g.
somemeans = CondMeans(T1,'ReactionTime',{'TargetStatus','Response'}) % which produces
somemeans =
TargetStatus Response ReactionTime

T1(:, T1.TargetStatus == 'N' & T1.Response == 'k') %select all rows for which TargetStatus is 'N' AND Response is 'k'
Note that == works here because your char arrays are just one character. If they had more than one character, you'd use strcmp instead.

Yes, you'd have to use strcmp. It's more or less the same:
T1(:, strcmp(T1.TargetStatus, 'T') & strcmp(T1.Response, 'k'))
