MATLAB: How to pass the char value dynamically

Question

loc1 = 'D11'

loc2 = 'H11'

range = 'loc1:loc2'

range should be D11:H11 when I do loc1:loc2

How to do that?

Answer 1

This looks like Excel type of coordinates, so not sure what this has to do with Matlab.

To get the string 'D11:H11' with your two variables:

range = sprintf('%s:%s', loc1, loc2);
%or
range = [loc1, ':', loc2];

Personally, I prefer the first form.
