I have a matrix which lists a 'class' and a 'thickness' of a material, i.e.:
% A = [class thickness]
A = [p 1.2;
c 1.8;
b 0.5;
p 2.6;
p 0.8;
c 1.0;
p 1.2
c 8.0
p 1.8];
I have a second matrix which lists the attributes of each class, split into thickness ranges, i.e.:
% B = [class min_t max_t att1 att2 att3 att4 att5]
B = [b 0.1 1.0 10 0.1 9.2 1.4 1.8;
b 1.01 10.0 8 0.08 1.8 2.8 1.0;
c 0.1 10.0 7 0.7 5.6 2.0 1.1;
p 0.1 1.0 8 0.2 8.0 1.7 1.9;
p 1.01 1.1 6 0.09 1.9 1.1 0.8;
p 1.11 2.0 10 0.4 2.8 0.8 1.2];
What I am trying to do is to generate a matrix, C, which steps through each row of A, finds the corresponding match in B, and then lists the attributes. So in effect it has to checking that (a) the class character is the same, and (b) the thickness is within the min-max range specified in matrix B. So the solution should look like this:
% C = [class thickness att1 att2 att3 att4 att5]
C = [p 1.2 10 0.4 2.8 0.8 1.2;
c 1.8 7 0.7 5.6 2.0 1.1;
etc
I can't work out an efficient way to do it without a whole bunch of loops. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

@Shannon: it is not clear what data class your variables are: are they tables? In any case, please upload same sample data in one .mat file, by clicking the paperclip button.

Note that defining t_min and t_max limits like that is susceptible to data silently going unhandled because they fall between limits of adjacent bins (floating point error could contribute to this). Better to just have a lower/upper limit and use adjacent limits to define the bins (this will mean one limit which corresponds to a zero-wdith set).
