significant correlation values

How is it possible to test whether the correlation between 2 time series is significant?
For example:
clear all
a = 1;
b = 20;
Fieldnames = {'data1','data2','data3','data4'};
data1 = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
data2 = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
data3 = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
data4 = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
NewData = [data1,data2,data3,data4];
R = nonzeros(tril(corrcoef(NewData),-1));
R_values = [Fieldnames(nchoosek(1:length(Fieldnames),2)) num2cell(R)];
How would I find if the correlation values were significant?

You can return the p-values from corrcoef
a = 0;
b = 1;
data1 = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
data2 = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
data3 = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
data4 = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
NewData = [data1,data2,data3,data4];
[r,p] = corrcoef(NewData);
% row and column indices of significant correlations
[I,J] = find(p<0.05);
Of course this is not giving the correlation for anything but at zero lag. Often in time series analysis you assume that there may be correlation between two time series if one is lagged with respect to the other.
