Alternate form of eval function

How can I write these two syntaxes in alternate from?

eval(['I',num2str(i),num2str(j),num2str(k),'=','getsiganl(filename1)',';']);
eval(['II',num2str(i),num2str(j),num2str(k),'=','smooth(sum(I',num2str(i),num2str(j),num2str(k),',2)',');']);

Rather than trying to use an "Alternate form of eval function", you should just write your code using much simpler and much more efficient indexing. Is there a particular reason why you cannot use indexing?

You'll have to learn good programming-habits and utilise the vectorized capabilities of matlab. This looks like a case where you might get away with multi-dimensional arrays - but that would require all your signals to have the same length. The safer option is to store all signals in a cell-array - there everything goes. Perhaps something like this:

I_all{i,j,k} = getsiganl(filename1);
I_all_smooth{i,j,k} = smooth(sum(I_all{i,j,k},2));

I would also suggest changing the indices i, j and k to i1, i2 and i3 - this makes me more comfortable when it comes to which order they should go in indexing and also leaves i and j for the imaginary constant.

@Bjorn Gustavsson Thank you. This is really what I wanted

Why not simply

I(i,j,k)=getsiganl(filename1);
II(i,j,k)=smooth(sum(I(i,j,k),2))

Be mindful though that if i,j,k are scalar coordinates, neither the original eval form nor the above make sense.

[Bjorn Gustavsson]

If getsiganl returns a 2-D matrix it kind of makes sense, note that the eval-version would generate variables with names like I123 for i = 1, j = 2 and k = 3 and then the completely inuntangleable _I1234 for all of [i, j, k] = [12, 3 4], [1 23 4] or [1 2 34]...

@Matt J I think I have checked this in prior but haven't worked. Anyway I got the right answer. Thank you
