How do I retrieve data from multiple different days using a for loop?

I have a function that can retrieve data from the date one wants to look at. I want to make a plot of the temperature as a function of time for the whole year.

function [lon, lat, t, z, T, S, u, v] = read_data_set (yr, mon, dy)

I was wondering how I could use this function to run through every day from 2015-08-29 to 2017-07-31. I have tried to make a for loop, but i'm currently stuck, since it is three different input arguments.

I have no idea what the data are (and there could be ways to make this more efficient).

Making a few assumptins, I would create the loop as:

lon = NaN(NumDays,1);                                                                   % Preallocate The Other Outputs Similarly
for k = 1:NumDays
    [lon(k), lat(k), t(k), z(k), T(k), S(k), u(k), v(k)] = read_data_set (yr(k), mon(k), dy(k));
end

The resulting vectors should have the information you want.

I have no idea what the data are. (I thought that they were matrix data of specific values, so that a for loop could go through the matrix to return the necessary values.) I cannot improve on the solution I already posted.

If the data are in a table or timetable, retrieving data for specific dates and times or over a range of them is straightforward using logical indexing.

My pleasure!

Without having the data to work with, I cannot offer any specific solutions. I am not even certain what to suggest.
