Hello all,
What is the quick way of shortening this code?
Thanks in advance for the help (I'm sure this one's not 'hard' but I don't know the 'easy' way--or anyway).
data_10_100_1=importdata('filename_2.txt');
data_10_100_2=importdata('filename_5.txt');
data_10_100_3=importdata('filename_9.txt');
data_10_100_4=importdata('filename_11.txt');
data_10_100_5=importdata('filename_14.txt');
data_10_100_6=importdata('filename_16.txt');
data_10_100_7=importdata('filename_17.txt');
data_10_100_8=importdata('filename_18.txt');
data_10_100_9=importdata('filename_20.txt');
data_10_100_10=importdata('filename_22.txt');
data_10_100_11=importdata('filename_23.txt');
data_10_100_12=importdata('filename_24.txt');
data_10_100_13=importdata('filename_28.txt');
data_10_100_14=importdata('filename_29.txt');
The answer will be something like:
x = [2 5 9 11 14 16 17 18 20 22 23 24 28 29];
for i =1:14;
data_10_100str2num(i) = importdata('filename_' num2str(x(i)) '.txt')
end; clear i
but this doesn't work... I'm not sure how to fix it. HOw do I make that LHS correct (the RHS is probably also wrong..)
Many thanks, M.A.B.

Use a cell array
x = [2 5 9 11 14 16 17 18 20 22 23 24 28 29];
for i =1:14;
data_10_100{i} = importdata(sprintf('filename_%d.txt',x(i)));
end;
