Using Strcat to create dynamic variable names

Question

I have a process which is repeated on a set of data stored in separate folders. Each time a certain folders data is processed I need new variable names as I need to results

Answer 1

The MATLAB function genvarname does what you want. In your case it would look something like:

eval(genvarname('Set_', who)) = zeros(dim, number);

However, I would follow the recommendations of previous answers and use a cell or struct to store the results.
