MATLAB: Is it possible to link an str answer with an existing variable

for loopslinkvariable

I have 26 variables (one for each letter) which each contain a different matrix. After this I have a for loop that gives an output of a single letter. I want to link the variables and for loop in some way, so that if the loop gives off the letter 'a' it will output the matrix linked to the variable a instead of just the letter. Is this possible? And if it is how would it be accomplished?

Best Answer

Use a switch statement or a multiple if statement, e.g.
switch letter
case 'a'
    theMatrix = a;
case 'b'
    theMatrix = b;
etc.
Now theMatrix will be one of those 26 other matrices according to what letter is in the 'letter' variable.
