any(cell{i}) doesn't work (loop)

Hello

The following does not work at the part where cell arrays are. I believe the "any function" does not work the way i want it to - it doesn't produce an error, but it doesn't work either. I want to check if any of the values in cell a and N (which consists of vectors).

for i = 1 : length(W)
    if X(i) < 20 || X(i) > 30 || Y(i) < 50 || Y(i) > 150 ...
            || any(a{i}) < 0 || any(a{i}) > 12 ...
            || any(N{i}) < 13 || any(N{i}) > 40
        X(i) = [];
        Y(i) = [];
        a{i} = [];
        N{i} = [];
        fprintf('Error in test subject %d, discarding dataline.\n',l)
    end
end

Could it be that you meant to write

any(a{i}<0)

instead of

any(a{i})<0

likewise for the others ??

It works, thanks a lot! Now another problem occurs, though. In a loop 1:5, i changed the values in vectors 3 and 5 in X to 99999 and the following error occurs:

Error in test subject 3, discarding dataline.

Attempted to access X(5); index out of bounds because numel(X)=4.

Should i ask for this in a separate question? Edit: asking in a new question.
