Thread Subject:

Convert 2d matrix into several 1 D array

Can anyone please help me with the following :

a=[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]

i want to change it into
b1=[1 2 3]
b2=[4 5 6]
b3=[7 8 9]

i have tried using a for loop
j=0;
for i=1:1:3
bi(j+1,:)=a(((3*j)+1):((3*j)+3))
j=j+1;
end

The issue is i am not having b1, b2 and b3 (seperate arrays) but only 1 b3.

i want matlab to understand that i need 3 seperate arrays .

regards

amith

Generally that is a bad idea. For background on why and ways to
accomplish the same thing w/o 'poofing' variables into the ML workspace
search for 'Alternatives to the eval function' in the documentation.

end

is the above expression proper for having an output as follows:
a_1=1
a_2=2
a_3=3

i tried it in the matlab but dont get the expect output.

Can you suggest on how this could be achieved

See previous answer -- this is _NOT_ the way to do whatever it is you
want to do in Matlab.

Did you follow the advice on finding the section in the documentation
that discusses why and how to process your data w/o doing so (or in last
resort, if you are insistent on going down the wrong path, it even has
that too).

See question 6 in the Programming section of the newsgroup FAQ for an
explanation why this is a Bad Idea and the alternatives you should use
instead.
