Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a loop to make small chunks of an array instead of a single large array (memory problems).

I am thinking to renaming each chunk name#..so:
Name1
Name2
Name3
so on..

What is the best way to do this?
I tried:
for cnt=1:n,
['Name' cnt]=array
end

However that gives me an error.
??? Error: An array for multiple LHS assignment cannot contain character string.
Should ['Name' cnt] be changed to something else other than a string? If so, in what form?


Thanks for any advice.


Try this:

array=rand(1,10);
for cnt=1:10
eval(sprintf('Name%d=%d',i,array(i)));
end

Whoops. Some sloppy errors here. Try this:


array=rand(1,10);
for i=1:10
eval(sprintf('Name%d=%d;',i,array(i)))
end

% Changes: before I left 'cnt' as the increment in the for loop, even though I
% referenced it as i.
% Also, make sure you have the semicolon inside the regular expression in sprintf.
% Otherwise a semicolon at the end of the line is not enough to prevent the
% variables displaying to the command line.
