MATLAB: Creating multiple variables from a vector

MATLABvectors

i have a vector [185 186 188 189 192 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 625 626….] i want to group all of terms that are within 15 numbers apart together. for example vector1 = [185 186 188 189 192] vector2= [247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255] vectorn = [625 626….]

Shobhit - rather than creating multiple variables (which is possible but gets messy), why not just create a cell array of these vectors instead? That way you have all of the vector data within one array.
 % create the vector of data to break apart
 V =  [185 186 188 189 192 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 625 626];
 % sort the data in ascending order
 V = sort(V);
 % create the data vector cell array
 data = {};
 k    = 1;
 % continue looping until all elements have been split into vectors
 while true
     % find the index of the first element that is 15 larger than the first V(1)
     idx = find(V>V(1)+15,1);
     if ~isempty(idx)
          % extract the elements
          data{k} = V(1:idx-1);
          % reset V, removing those that have been extracted
          V        = V(idx:end);
          % increment to the next k
          k        = k + 1;
     else
         % else there is no element in V that is 15 larger, so all remaining
         % elements are together
         data{k} = V(1:end);
         % break out of loop
         break;
     end
 end
Try the above and see what happens!
