create a new variable whos name is conditional

Hi. How can I creat a new variable whose name I dont know yet. A simple example is below. Thanks
>> [a,b,c]=xlsread('myfile.xlsx')
a =
[]
b =
'new_var'
c =
'new_var'
.... now I want to create a variable whose name is the same as the string taken from b . i.e I want to creat a variable with name new_var . and then give it a value ( new_var=10). How?

Use the genvarname command.
mv = genvarname('my_varname');
eval([mv '= 123;']);
my_varname

I dont know the name of the variable. The name is imported from excel. (You named it my_varname).
what is the code for generating the name and giving a value of 10 to it?
Milad, it is pretty much the same. From your code, b is a string, just like
b = 'new_var'
mv = genvarname(b);
eval([mv '= 10;']);
new_var
In other words, you create (generate) a variable name with the string contained in b, then evaluate the command sequence [mv '= 10;'] which puts the newly generated variable with its content in the workspace.
Thanks Mischa. I just understood what you was saying. you were right. The point was that when I read from excel, I should use genvarname like this :
mv=genvarname(b{1})
Thanks for introducing this command and for ur patience.

You can do it like:
varname='new_var'
assignin('base',varname,[1 2 3])
new_var
But this is not a good idea like you can read it in the link

In your code you already know the name of variable. suppose that you dont know what is written in excel file!
I don't know the name of the variable
[a,b,c]=xlsread('myfile.xlsx')
assignin('base',b,[1 2 3])
