You can access the columns of the table using T.columnname or T.(1), T.(2) etc...

To get the index where name 'Ali' lies, you can use

idx = strcmp(T.name,'Ali') ; % assuming name column to carry names 
idx = strcmp(T.(1),'Ali') ; % assuming first column to be names 

To get the ages indices.

id = T(idx).age>= 25 & T(idx).age <= 30 ; % assuming age is the column whihc has ages

Thank, but its not doing the job. Its 2 line you suggested only returning the array of 0s and 1s. I need the whole row of the record where name ali is present. The last code you suggested is producing error

"Subscripting into a table using one subscript (as in t(i)) or three or more subscripts (as in t(i,j,k)) is not supported. Always specify a row subscript and a variable subscript, as in t(rows,vars)."

kindly if you can guide
