MATLAB: Using a For Loop with the variable set to a series defined matrix values

Question

Hi. I have a program where I'm trying to implement a range of values that the user can examine, between 1 and 64. I want to run the program and have it cumulatively plot the results at all predefined window sizes.

I keep trying something like this, using all kinds of different combinations of brackets (I'm new to programming and MATLAB):

for window = ([1:64], [30:31], [21:29], [etc])
  windowval = window    % Used to test the For loop in the practice/test program
end

Usually windowval ends up equaling 1, then 2, then 3, etc. I want it to equal 1:64, as in, [1 2 3 4 5 6 … 64], then on the next iteration, [30:31], etc.

Any tips? When I use doc for, the closest thing to what I want is just for a defined set of index values, s = [3,5,8,10]…

EDIT: Also, I should say, I want the user to be able to easily be able to implement these ranges into the script directly (but manually).

Answer 1

Have you tried this combination of brackets? ;-)

 for window = {1:64, 30:31, 21:29}
   windowval = cell2mat(window);
 end
