Change input name when running a script

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to change the input name but I can't get it to work. Basically, what I want to do is changing the autoname below for each run:

load('test1.mat');
load('test2.mat');
names = {'test1', 'test2'};
for autoname = 1:length(names)
   All_numbs=autoname;
end

So it ends up being different matrices called at each iteration.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Christian

I'm not sure what you're asking, but does this help?

names={'test1', 'test2'};
for k=1:length(names)
  autoname=names{k};
  load(autoname);
% or you can do load(['names{k} '.mat']);
end

I'm sorry about that. I'm asking whether it's possible to change the input name after loading a file. If I loaded a file containing multiple matrices and I want a loop to extract specific parts of information:

% load('test1.mat'); and load('test2.mat') => each one containing numb_val and numb_non

names = {'numb_val', 'numb_non'}
for ii = 1: names
    load('test1');
     new_val = names(ii);
    load('test2');
     new_val = names(ii);
end

The question being how I can change the input names in front of new_val.

Best regards,

I formatted your code, again. Please read this

I don't understand what you're doing. Why didn't you do what Henrik suggested? That will let you specify a filename using an index from a predefined list of filenames.

I'm very sorry about that Image Analyst.

And thank you for the response Henrik.
