Renaming variables from the parameter list to "_1".

Input list: ParameterList = {A, B, C,...}; % picks up all the parameters from the dataset

Output ParameterList_New = {A_1, B_1, C_1,...)

If we can remove the old list, ParameterList, that would be great.

Please explain more about how this is being used? Is ParameterList a cell array of strings?

I suspect that this might be relevant:

Hi Walter,

Yes, ParameterList is a cell array of strings. Input list: ParameterList = {A, B, C,...}; % picks up all the parameters names from the dataset Output ParameterList_New = {A_1, B_1, C_1,...} % (corrected the bracket)

Hi Stephen, This is more of a post-processing. Need to rename the old list with the new name.

No. The point is, you only THINK you need to do that, because you have not learned how to use variables and arrays. You still want to program in Excel, or some language like that. As Stephen said, you don't really need to do it, and it is a bad thing in general.

ParameterList = strcat(ParameterList, '_1');

Awesome! Thanks Walter!
