Lable dimensions of multidimensional array

Hi !

I have a 4D array of cells. each dimension corresponds to a variable defined in a loop

How can I assign lables to each dimension so that if the user want the data in B{1,2,19,5} index, they can call for example B{ 'range=4' , '4V' , '5A' , '3m' }

The same question has been asked here https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/114559-name-and-label-dimensions-of-an-array but no answer yet.

Thanks in advance!

There is no quick way to enable this, I'm afraid. You would have too write your own customized data object type and provide a subsref method to process the indexing syntax that you want,

Thanks for your answer. But I did not uderstand how to customize data objecting for 4D array ?

This example may help, if you are determined to write your own class.
