How can I employ 'for' loop for my specific problem?

My problem is this:

I have a large sample data in the form of a column matrix (the data is around 10000 data points for each object). For each value of time 't' (another column matrix), I need the corresponding value of the data: for instance, for t(1,:), I need the correspondence y(1,:).

So how do I go about writing the "code of correspondence" between these two? It's like plotting only, in a way, except I need an executable function.

I am NOT seeking something like m = [t y] which gives me a matrix of the order a*b, where a is the number of rows and b is the number of columns.

 Why not just

   y.'

? The .' is to account for the fact that in t it is the first dimension that has the colon but in y it is the second dimension that has the colon.

Oh, got it. To convert it to a column vector.

But, the more important question is, how can I assign each value of t to the corresponding value of y? :/

y = t.';

if you are doing the whole thing. Otherwise then general form

y(1,:) = t(:,1).'

which would generalize to (for example)

y(1:2, :) = t(:,1:2).'

or

y(1,:) = t(:,1);

a shortcut that would work only for a single column.
