MATLAB: How to create new variables in batches with strcat

Question

Hi,

What I want to do is something like

for m=1:11
    for i=1:3
        for k=1:5
            for x=1:9
                strcat(InputCell{m,1},'_', InputCell{1,i},'_',InputCell{m,i}{k},'_',InputCell{m,i}{k,2}{x}) = xlsread(filename,'strcat(InputCell{m,1},'_', InputCell{1,i},'_',InputCell{m,i}{k})', 'InputCell{m,i}{k,2}{x}')
        end
    end
end
end

Where strcat () creates a bunch of new variable names and xlsread reads the corresponding sheet and range… but strcat can only create string text, how can I let Matlab take that as new variable?

And I suppose the xlsread part also doesn't work as it is now… just let you guys know what I am thinking of …

Thanks a lot!
