Hi

I want to create new names for my structure, or if not possible, variables. I have the following problem:

A variable in a for-loop is to be a part in my structure name. This means that the structures chuold be named as; structure1, structure2 and so on.

Is there any way to this and to be able to store any kind of data into these structures?

I have earlier tried to make variables in the same way using the following;¨

for i=1:10 eval(['variable' num2str(i) '=' num2str(i)]); end

but in this case it is not possible to store numerical data in any good way, only strings.

Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this?

You just have to remove your last num2str to be able to assign any kind of data to your variable.

CODE

eval(['variable' num2str(i) '= anyX']);

And if you want this variable to be part of a struct you only have to add the structname to the expression

CODE

eval(['structname.variable' num2str(i) '= anyX']);

In both cases the anyX variable can contain anything. A matrix, a cell, a string or a double, it doesn't matter what kind of datatype is stored in the variable.
