Logical statement with variable gates and true/false vectors without using EVAL

Hi All! Thank-you for help in advance.
I have a long logical statement of a dozen true/false vectors with eleven logical gates between them. The gates can have any one of the three values selected from:
gate = {'&','|','&~'};
Let me use just two vectors and one gate for simplicity. If I use eval, it is a simple matter of concatenating a string...
tfvect1 = [0;1;0;1;1];
tfvect2 = [1;1;1;1;0];
gate = {'&','|','&~'};
n=1;
tf_result = eval(['tfvect1',gate{n},'tfvect2'])
but I want to avoid EVAL (aka 'EVIL') because I want to compile the code. This is actually the first time ever I've used EVAL, but I can't think of another way. STR2FUNC doesn't interpret a logical statement as valid, that is:
tfvect1 = [0;1;0;1;1];
tfvect2 = [1;1;1;1;0];
gate = {'&','|','&~'};
str='@(hit1,hit2,n)hit1 gate{n} hit2'
tf = str2func(str);
tf(tfvect1,tfvect1,1)
chokes on the logical statement (which MATLAB is happy with if you type it on the command line) - apparently STRFUNC only accepts algebraic statements.
Surely there is a better method than hard coding all the possible permutations of the logical statement? Any ideas please?

str= str2func(sprintf('@(hit1,hit2,n)hit1 %s hit2', gate{n}))
Thank-you Walter! Do you mean..
tfvect1 = [0;1;0;1;1];
tfvect2 = [1;1;1;1;0];
gate = {'&','|','&~'};
tf = str2func(sprintf('@(hit1,hit2,n)hit1 %s hit2', gate{n}))
tf(tfvect1,tfvect1,2)
It gives me the same result regardless of 'n' used
Sorry, the code is not parameterized by n. You would need different code for full expansion.

How about indexing into the function handles?
gate = {@and, @or, @(x,y)x&~y} %'&','|','&~'};
tfvect1 = [0;1;0;1;1];
tfvect2 = [1;1;1;1;0];
gateidx = [2 3 1];
for ii = numel(gateidx):-1:1
tf(:, ii) = gate{gateidx(ii)}(tfvect1, tfvect2);
end

Thanks Sean! It gives me a: "Conversion to function_handle from logical is not possible." in R2017b
I think you might have missed a @ or the %. Or you forgot to clear your existing tf variable before running the code.

possible_gates = {'&','|','&~'};
andnot = @(a,b) a &~ b;
gatefuns = {@and, @or, andnot};
[~, gateidx] = ismember(gate, possible_gates);
current = gatefuns{gateidx(1)}(tfvect{1}, tfvect{2});
for K = 3 : length(tfvect);
current = gatefuns{gateidx(K-1)}(current, tvfect{K});
end
