Set upper and lower bounds of for loop

I would like to set the upper and lower bounds of a for loop based on the values of simulation parameters. I'm not sure how to do this in Matlab. So something like

if Sim == "A"

if FluorProf == 1

SimText = "(N+1)/2:N"

else

SimText = "1:N"

end

else

SimText = "1:(N+1)/2-1"

end

for k = SimText

@Do something

end

Have SimText be a vector instead of a string, and your for loop should run as expected.

a = 1:3;
for b = a
    b
end

b = 1

b = 2

b = 3
