Hi, all! I have a lot of variables (over 2000 and counting), and I need to perform the same action on all of them. As of now, each variable is a Cx5 matrix where C is a very large number. I simply want the second column in each matrix. I realize that you can access the second column through
A(:,2)but I am not sure how to do this for multiple variables. Each variable is similarly named; in my specific scenario, I have named each blg_x where x is the identifying number for the variable and the only aspect that will change (e.g. blg_0001, blg_1970). I have played around with loops that try to change variable names in them, but nothing seems to work. I was thinking that perhaps MATLAB has some way to perform an action on variables starting with certain letters (in my case 'blg') that I am not aware of, or some way to step through variable names like in a for or while loop. Some help would be appreciated!
