For Loop with strings
显示 更早的评论
I am dealing with n vectors which represent the values of a variable along time. Each of them is characterized by a code which can be both numerical and text. For example Y_23 and Y_FIRE. I have to make some computations for each of them, for instance: beta_23 = Y_23^2. I was thinking about indexing the variables or making a for loop with string vectors. Anybody may help me please? Thanks in advance.

"I was thinking about indexing the variables"
That is a good idea. You should do that.
"or making a for loop with string vectors"
That is most likely a bad idea, because accessing variables from strings is slow, buggy, hard to debug, hard to read... and is strongly discouraged:
Although indexing is likely the best option, another option would be for you to put all of your data into a structure, then you can simply access and pass any of those values by using the fieldnames.

Adding Stephen Cobeldick 's suggestion here so that it is visible as an answer rather than a comment.
