Aside from the answers you can find in all the questions I linked to, here's yet another one-liner inspired by this @gnovice post using SUBSREF:
>> A = [1 5 10];
>> [x y z] = subsref(num2cell(A), struct('type','{}','subs',{{':'}}))
x =
1
y =
5
z =
10
Basically its equivalent to: [x y z] = num2cell(A){:} (but thats non-valid syntax)
