How do I assign an index value to a function output?

Using R2014b. I have a function called within a for loop which returns lots of outputs. I want to assign an index value for each output of the function as the loop runs. Something like:
for ind = 1:n
[output1(ind),output2(ind), ...] = function(inputs)
end
This doesn't appear to work (results in an error). Is there an easy way to code this without doing:
output1(ind) = output1;
output2(ind) = output2;
for each variable after the function call?

Indexing into an output argument works without error:
>> for k = 1:3, [R(k),C(k)] = size(ones(1,k));, end
>> R,C
R =
1 1 1
C =
1 2 3
If you want help finding your syntax error then you need to actually tell us what the error message is, and show us your code.

You cannot assign an empty result into an indexed location, not unless you are using {} indexing on a cell array. Also remember that strings are row vectors of characters, not single locations.
You might need
for ind = 1:n
[output1{ind},output2{ind}, ...] = function(inputs)
end
