Hello,
I'm exporting some constants from Simulink to the Matlab workspace. The variables are called A1, A2, A3, B1, B2,....

I want to access the variables in this way:

variables_names={'A1',  'A2', 'A3', 'B1'}

for i=1:length(variable_names),
 bi2de(variable_names(1,i))
end;

The variables are arrays of [1,11] size with doubles values. I've tried to use the eval function but didn't get it to work.

With cell arrays, you should use {} instead of ().

>> out = eval(['bi2de(',variable_names{1,i},')']);

I think the following  is what you want, but it's hard to tell. Your code doesn't assign the ouput of bi2de to anything

variables_names={'A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'B1'};

for i=1:length(variable_names),

 thisVar=variables_names{i};

 myStruct(thisVar)=bi2de(eval(thisVar));

end;

Thanks a lot. This solution does what I want. Here is the current code:

% Convert the values from binary coefficients to hex values;

coefficients = {'A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'B1', 'B2', 'B3', 'C1', 'C2', 'C3', 'D13', 'D14', 'D24', 'E21', 'E31', 'E32'};

hex_coeff_array = cell(length(coefficients), 2);

for i=1:length(coefficients),

  thisVar=coefficients{i};
  
  hex_coeff_array(i,1) = cellstr(thisVar);

  hex_coeff_array(i, 2) = cellstr(dec2hex(bi2de(fliplr(eval(thisVar))), 8));
 
end;
