genvarname({'A', 'A', 'A', 'A'});

Hi I would like to use genvarname({'A'}) but it should be dynamic times, like A1,A2,A3,....,An, as much as i want. I am not interest to write it like v = genvarname({'A', 'A', 'A', 'A'}); (5 times). Hope you the people understand why I do not want to write of it.

It is such a terrible idea to generate variable names dynamically. No matter how much beginners keep inventing it and thinking that it would be a great idea for their code, this is one of the worst ways to write code.

Make your code faster, robuster, and neater by avoiding dynamically defined variable names. Properly written code is easier to understand, easier top debug, and easier to write: dynamically defined variable names are the opposite of all of these:

Nothing is indicating that he is creating variables, they are just strings!

[Sean de Wolski]

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he is setting the VariableNames property of a table. This will likely be more and more common as tables start to get more use and the default variable names of Var1, Var2, ... Varn are less explanatory than Sensor1,Sensor2, ... SensorN.

genvarname(repmat({'A'},1,5),'A')

Thanks for the simplest answer but it works for me.

Why do you want to do this? It is generally a very bad programming idea to generate variable names like this.

"It is the contents of a variable that should change, not the name of the variable!"

GENVARNAME will become obsolete pretty soon. This is more flexible:

C = arrayfun(@(k) sprintf('Sensor%02d',k), 7:13, 'un',0)
