undefined function 'minus' for input arguments of type table

I have a .txt (220 rows * 12 cols, first row text, rest of the file is decimal numbers) file, first I converted it to a table: T = readtable('xxx.txt','Delimiter','\t') and then saved T to .mat form.
then I ran these coads: >> load T.mat >> col=0; raa=0.05; d=0; c=0; n=0; w=0; b=0; data4=zeros(220,10);
for col=3:12
for i=1:220
b=0;
c=0;
for j=1:220
if i~=j
d=sqrt((T(i,1)-T(j,1))^2+(T(i,2)-T(j,2))^2);
if d<30
c=(1/(d^2))*T(j,col);
b=b+c;
else
end
end
end
x=T(i,col) - (raa * b);
n=i;
data4(i,col)= x;
data4(i,1)=n;
end
% dlmwrite('trash.txt',data4,'\t') dlmwrite('T-100spreg2-raa05.txt',data4,'\t') end
I got an error message Error: undefined function 'minus' for input arguments of type table.
My questions are: 1. why when I checked the size of T I got ans=1 1, why not ans=220 12?
2. why I got this error message?
3. If I shouldn't use table T directly in the coad, then I need to convert it to an array. I used A=table2array('T') and got: Error: Cell contents reference from a non cell array object Error in table2array (line 27) a = t{:,:}; Could it be I did something wrong from the first step i.e. convert .txt to table (thus I got ans=1 1 but not 220 12)?

With readtable, you get a Table object. This is the reason for the errors. If you use dlmread instead, you'll directly get an array which has the right size and minus is defined for it. I cannot comment on your third question as this seems to refer to lines which you haven't posted.

I'm sure you need to change something else, but I cannot tell you what. I don't know what's raa, x, data4 and so on. I just can tell you that raa (and x) will have 101 elements which you want to save in data4, but I don't know what they mean.
Anyway, I think there's more wrong with your code. First align your code properly (ctrl+a, ctrl+i). Then you'll see that
x=T(i,col) - (raa * b);
is after the end of the for loop which iterates over i. Thus, you always write T(220,col). Is that what you want? Same holds for the data4 lines.
In any case, I would think about vectorizing the code. I suppose the central line is
d=sqrt((T(i,1)-T(j,1))^2+(T(i,2)-T(j,2))^2);
which is just giving the distance between all points with x positions in the first column and y positions in the second column, right? Then, this line
d=sqrt(bsxfun(@minus, T(:,1),T(:,1)').^2+bsxfun(@minus,T(:,2),T(:,2)').^2);
should do the same (if I didn't mess up something). But this now works without any loop. I'm sure the rest of the code can also be vectorized, however, I'm sure parts of the code are missing as e.g. col will always be 0 which is not a valid index.

You can use curly braces {} to index into the elements of a table
T{3,4}
