Prevent a for loop from overwriting

Hi everyone,

I have a for loop and 90 iterations. After running it I want to have a vector Fmax with 90 entries, one entry per each iteration. So far I am getting the 1x1 vector with the result from the last iteration. My code:

for i = 1:90 % number of tests done

File1 = strcat(Dir,num2str(i),'_s',cellSamples(i),'_',cellScrews(i),'_',cellThickness(i),'.txt');
File1=char(File1);
 M = dlmread(File1,'\t',2,0)

Fmax=max(M(:,2))

end

I tried with

Fmax(i)=max(M(:,2))

but it returns an error.

Thank you for any suggestions.

What is the error? Also, what is the size of M?

Use

Fmax{i} = max(M(:,2));

This might be empty for some files, if the files are empty.

Problem solved. There was an error in some other place in the code. Thank you for your answers.
