Hi!
I have a problem with naming variables. E.g.:

a=2;
b=3;

And I would like to create a variable c_2_3 and assign a value to it, e.g.:

c_2_3=4.

How can I do this automatically, so that Matlab is naming my variables according to the value of a and b? I tried num2str and string concatenation:

strcat('c',num2str(a),num2str(b))=4, but that does not work...

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Chris
