I have a loop with the column/variable names of a timetable need to be called in a loop

for 1 = 1:10

a(:,i) = Timetable.VariableNamesMatrix{i}

end

I bolded the part im having an issue with. How can I call a string from a cell array and use it in this fashion so that for example

VariableNamesMatrix{1} = Var1

and the code would enact the part in the loop as Tiimetable.Var1 when i = 1;

for 1 = 1:10
    a(:,i) = Timetable.(VariableNamesMatrix{i});
end

But you should consider just using

a = table2array(Timetable, VariableNamesMatrix);
