unpack

Unpack list to variables

You are now following this Submission

Many languages allow list unpack as:
a,b,c=1,2,'w'

This cannot be done in matlab and can avoid many lines of code. This file makes it possible.

Examples:
[a,b,c,d]=unpack(1,2,3,'hello');
[a,b,c]=unpack([1,2,3]);
[a,b,c,d]=unpack({1,2,3,'hello'});

(I suppose this works in any matlab release)
