How to dynamically name variables based on a list and assign arrays from a cell array

Hi, I have two elements I would like to combine:
A 1x5 Cell Array called Input with the variables names I want to use:
Input ={'Type','Characteristics','PortfolioMKV','PortfolioRet','StartDate'}
And a 1x5 Cell Array called AllRanges with the data I want to assign to the variable names above:
AllRanges = 'RB' { 4x54 cell} { 2x39 cell} { 2x39 cell} '7/31/2013'
So, I want to dynamically create/ assign the following:
Type = 'RB' Characteristics = { 4x54 cell} PortfolioMKV = { 2x39 cell} PortfolioRet = { 2x39 cell} StartDate = '7/31/2013'
Any idea how I can achieve this? Thanks

No, not unless you hard code the names in there or go against the recommendations laid out in the FAQ.

@Sven: Please read the linked FAQ topic again until it gets clear to you. Do not create variables dynamically. This produces more troubles than it solves.
