Creating a string with sprintf() and assign a variable to it

Hello

I have a basic question which I can not solve. I am creating multiple variables with sprintf and I would be interested to assign an array to each of them.

I tried to do it in some ways but did not work. Is there any way to do it ?

Thank you in advance

Don't know what you are trying to do but here is an example.

eval(sprintf('A%d = %s',1,'magic(3)'))

As a general rule though, you should avoid using variables such as A1, A2, (you may not have this issue, I just put it as a precaution), see

Thank you very much

I was trying the same thing but in wrong way !!!

I was doing something like

eval(sprintf('Variable_%d',5))=100;

Which did not seem to work !!!!

Thank you anyway !!!

Using eval() very often leads to problems in coding and debugging. It is much better to use one of the alternatives such as cell arrays.
