Help using logic to edit table

Hi,

I have a table indicating when high and low tides occur. I am trying to split the table in two: creating a table with only high tide information, and another table with only low tide information. There is a column in my main table that has either the letter H or L indicating high or low tides. There might be a better way to do this, and if so please feel free to share — my approach is to duplicate the main table and delete the rows associated with either H or L. I wrote the following code, but it does not work.

for row = 1:height(high_tides)
    if high_tides.High_Low == "L"
       high_tides(:) = []
    end
end

Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Or is there a better way to go about this?

Thank you!

if you want to delete the specfic rows that match "L" then you can use row index as below

for row = 1:height(high_tides)
    if strcmp(high_tides.High_Low,"L") % strcmp 
       high_tides(row,:) = [];
    end
end
high_tides

T = table(["H";"L";"H";"L"],(1:4).','VariableNames',["Tide","Height"])

T = 4x2 table
    Tide    Height
    ____    ______

    "H"       1   
    "L"       2   
    "H"       3   
    "L"       4   

Thigh = T(T.Tide=="H",:)

Thigh = 2x2 table
    Tide    Height
    ____    ______

    "H"       1   
    "H"       3   

Tlow = T(T.Tide=="L",:)

Tlow = 2x2 table
    Tide    Height
    ____    ______

    "L"       2   
    "L"       4   

Or, if you want to duplicate the main table and then delete

Thigh = T;
Thigh(T.Tide=="L",:)=[]

Thigh = 2x2 table
    Tide    Height
    ____    ______

    "H"       1   
    "H"       3

I was overcomplicating things, thank you.
