MATLAB: How to load multiple samples in a for loop

for loopiterationMATLABmultiple samples

I am trying to write a program that runs multiple samples but I can not figure out how to load a different sample for each iteration of the for loop.
For example:
sample1='/home/examplefilename.DTA';
sample2='/home/examplefilename2.DTA';
sample3='/home/examplefilename3.DTA';
q = inputdlg('How many samples were loaded?');
nsamples = str2double(q);
for h=1:nsamples;
    [xd,yd,Pars]=eprload(sample(h));
    xIndex = find(yd==max(yd(xd>=2600 & xd<=2850)), 1, 'first');
    B = xd(xIndex);
    v=Pars.MWFQ;
    disp(sample(h))
end
This gives me the error message 'Undefined function or variable 'sample'.

Best Answer

that is because sample is undefined but sample1 sample2 and sample3 is what you defined. how you're calling out that last line you should build sample{} as a cell array
sample{1}='/home/examplefilename.DTA';
sample{2}='/home/examplefilename2.DTA';
sample{3}='/home/examplefilename3.DTA';
q = inputdlg('How many samples were loaded?');
nsamples = str2double(q);
for h=1:nsamples;
    %redacted
    disp(sample(h))
end
