How do I output a vectors in the order for example, z1, z2,z3,z4,z5....after having a 1 x 5 cell array go through a for loop?

Hello,
Lets say I have a cell array Z, and it contains the following. This is just a simple example.
Z = {1,4,13,2,6}
How can I write a for loop so that it will output five vectors in numerical order, like Z1,Z2,Z3,Z4,Z5 such that each vector contains the values in each cell in Z. The following output would be ideal.
Z1 = 1
Z2 = 4
Z3 = 13
Z4 = 2
Z5 = 6
I am using 2015a btw. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Recent versions support cells automatically doing the same as the deal function:
Z = {1,4,13,2,6};
[Z1,Z2,Z3,Z4,Z5] = Z{:}

My pleasure. I hope that those links were interesting to read. Basically when you consider doing this:
X1 = ...
X2 = ...
X3 = ...
you can see that the 1, 2, 3, etc, are really just indices... so then why not avoid all of the slowness, bugginess and obfuscation of using eval and just make them actual indices:
X(1) = ...
X(2) = ...
X(3) = ...
Much faster, easier to debug, easier to search for in your files, and MATLAB Editor provides pop-ups with the values, instance highlighting, etc, etc.
You will not regret learning how to program without eval!
