Is there a way to use conditional statements on text in Matlab? I'd like to set up something like:

if TXT{i,1} = 'text'
NUMERIC(i,1) = 1
end

Nothing I've found online has helped so far.

You will most likely have to use 'strcmp'. Text can not be evaluated with an equality operator. In any case you should be using '==' instead of '=' to compare. Try:

if strcmp(TXT{i,1},'text')
NUMERIC(i,1) = 1;
end
