Thread Subject: Reading a list of workspace variables

Hi everyone.

I've got to read data from a list of matrices archived in the
workspace (obtained by loading ascii files) called
'Node001','Node002' and so on...

I've tried to make up, in a for-loop, a string with strcat and
num2str(i) but, then, I am returned only a string with the noame of
the variable whose content I can't access.

The solution should be simple...

But I am not finding it...

Thx everyone, as usual.

Bye,

M.D.

This code hints to another solution

v1 = 1;
v2 = 2;
list = who( 'v*' );
for name = list', s.(char(name)) = eval( char( name ) ); end
>>s
s =
      v1: 1
      v2: 2

However, I doubt I understand your question

Don't load them that way. Instead, use an output argument to load,
plus cell arrays to store the data in:

data{1} = load('Node001');
etc.

Now you can loop through data{1}, data{2}, etc, and your workspace
won't be clogged.

  OK, I'll try that way.

Thanks a lot,
