I have written a code that generates 20 strings (the number actually varies depending on the input), all of which have the names "s_idx_?" where ? is a number from 1 to 20. Is there a command that allows me to concatenate all these strings without having to type out all the names? Thanks.

First: it is generally nicer to create one data structure to contain all of these strings rather than creating a variable per string. Look up cell arrays, they are your friend. Rather than calling your strings s_idx_?, you could just call them s{?} where ? is your old number.
Actually I'm oversimplifying the problem a bit. This is the code I have:
for e = 1:length(c)
f = eval(c{e}); % for each c, f gives the list of cues under the condition
for g = 1:length(f) % runs through the whole string of cues (f)
i = f{g};
h = genvarname('s_idx_',who);
eval([h '= find(strcmp(''' i ''',theData.study.cue))']); % matches each i with a number from some list I have
end
end
The output is a bunch of variables called "s_idx_?". The number of variables will change if I change the input. I've tried creating cell arrays as Nathan suggested, but it doesn't seem to work.
POISON!! EVAL!! Don't do it!!
!! Other solutions then?

Don't do it!
but if you have to:
sprintf('s_idx_%i\n',1:20)

I agree with "Don't do it". The SPRINTF command concatenates the _names_ of the variables?! The OP wants to cat the string values.

Follow Sean's link to the FAQ. There you find the suggestion to use a cell like "s_idx{i}" instead of including the index in the name of the variables. Thjen the concatenation is easy:
s = cat(2, s_idx{:});
