MATLAB: How to call a Variable from a List Dialog Box

callbackvariables

Hey everyone,
Im trying to get the values out of a variable which I have defined already but I don't call them unless I select it from a list.
Var1 = [10, 5, -1, 2, 3]
Var2 = [5, 6, 7, 8]
... etc
List = {'Var1','Var2'};
[indx] = listdlg('ListString',List,'SelectionMode','Single')
% Selected the variable from list
VarChosen = List{indx}
%VarChosen = 'Var1'
So here when I select it i get a Char of 'Var1'
What I need is the values of Var 1 so that
Var1_A = Var1(1)
Var1_B = Var1(2)
Var_1C = Var1(3)... etc
I think i'm just missing a way for the Character Array to be seen as the variable for it to call.. I don't know.
Any help would be appreciated.

30 minutes later and I have found out how to solve it
Basically I had to make my Variables into a Structure instead of trying to dynamically calling them
S.Var1 = [10, 5, -1, 2, 3]
S.Var2 = [5, 6, 7, 8]
List = fieldnames(S)
[indx] = listdlg('ListString',List,'SelectionMode','Single')
Var_Chosen = S.(List{indx})
Var1_A = Var_Chosen(1)
This gave me the correct value from the Variable which I was looking for
Var1_A = 10
