I work with double variables with different names and dimensions and would like to manipulate them by using FOR loops.

The strategy I want to give up:
    variable0=update(variable0,rate);
    variable1=update(variable1,rate);
    variable2=update(variable2,rate);
    variable3=update(variable3,rate);
    .
    .
    variableN=update(variableN,rate)

The FOR strategy I'd like to use
    for I=1:N
        variable[I]=update(variable[I],rate);
    end

Do you know how to implement this strategy of changing the variable name on a FOR loop?

Other possibility could be access a string variable containing the variable names... This solution would be very interesting too...

Thank you

variable = cell(n,1);
% Do stuff to fill cell, then:


for ii = 1:n
variable{ii} = update(variable{ii},rate);
end

See Q4.6 in the newsgroup FAQ for alternate methods that you should use 
instead of dynamic variable names.
