MATLAB: How to extract and store parts of a matrix to new matrices

MATLABmatrix

I have read the FAQ to extract parts of an existing matrix
to new matrices only by selection of rows but had no success.
I wish to do the following:
Let M=
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
10 10
and the following parameters to create a loop:
for k=1:3;
l=(k+1);
m=(2*k)+3;
mk=M(l:m,1:end);
end;
I wished by doing that above to get the following results
for k=1
m1=
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
for k=2
m2=
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
for k=3
m3=
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
and so on. Instead, as result I obtained only:
mk=
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
It is only the matrix for the last value of k and the index 3 is not
appearing instead of k for mk.
Hopefully someone knows how to fix this problem
Thank you

In your loop, you are writing to the single variable "mk" over and over again, overwriting the value from the previous loop. Probably the best way to do this is with a "cell array". Each element of the cell array can itself be an array, which is what you want.
Use
 mk{k}=M(l:m,1:end);
inside the loop, where the "k" inside the curly brackets indexes into the cell array. When you are done, your mk variable will have three elements; each will be an array.
(I did not check the rest of your code to see if it is doing what you want.)
