Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch

??? Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.

Error in ==> bintranslate at 143
        Ep(i/numbitEp,:)=available(ceil(bin2dec(num2str(chromosome4(i-(numbitEp-3):i)))),:);

This is my m file. can anyone help me out please????

function [Coord,Edof,Ep]=bintranslate(available,chromosome,Dof,fixedcoord,na,nb,neft,nevt,nl,nn,numbitCoordX,numbitCoordY,numbitCoordZ,numbitEdof,numbitEp,xspan,yspan,zspan)

Break

Ep(i/numbitEp,:)=available(ceil(bin2dec(num2str(chromosome4(i-(numbitEp-3):i)))),:);

up into parts and examine them all with the debugger to figure out what their values are. For example

d1 = i/numbitEp
d2 = i-(numbitEp-3)
d3 = chromosome4(d2:i)
d4 = num2str(d3)

and so on.

How can I do this??

I'm a new starter at MATLAB, please HELP me
