How to generalize 2 dimensions into n dimensions with a for loop?

Hi,
In 2D, I have a script like this:
bx = [min(x(1,:)) : ( (max(x(1,:)) - min(x(1,:))) /20 ) : max(x(1,:))];
by = [min(x(2,:)) : ( (max(x(2,:)) - min(x(2,:))) /20 ) : max(x(2,:))];
But here's the problem: x can have more than 2 rows. As a result, I want to have b's like:
bz = [min(x(3,:)) : ( (max(x(3,:)) - min(x(3,:))) /20 ) : max(x(3,:))];
ba = [min(x(4,:)) .....
....
....
So I need a for loop. I tried to do it like:
[M N] = size(x);
for s=1:1:M-1
b(s,:) = [min(x(s,:)) : (max(x(s,:))-min(x(s,:)))/20 : max(x(s,:))];
end
But I get the "Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch." error. I tried to ask this in http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/84556-how-can-i-create-a-specific-matrix-in-a-for-loop but since I couldn't clarify myself clearly, I didn't get the correct answer, the suggestion with doing this with linspace instead of colon didn't seem to work.
Edit: Another idea that comes to mind is this:
b = min(x(1,end)) : ((max(x(1,end))-min(x(1,end)))/20) : max(x(1,end));
but this doesn't generate a b matrix strangely. In the variable editor b seems like a 1x0 matrix with nothing inside if I do this statement instead.
The problem is not with the for loop, even if I don't do a for loop, and just write
b(1,:) = [min(x(1,:)) : ((max(x(1,:))-min(x(1,:)))/20) : max(x(1,:))];
I still get the same dimension mismatch error. So the problem has to do with the b(1,:) colon in this statement.

i1=min(x,[],2);i2=max(x,[],2); % the limits for conciseness
n=repmat(20,size(x,1),1); % the number of points wanted
b= cell2mat(arrayfun(@linspace,i1,i2,n,'uniformoutput',0));
Original problem is that apparently linspace() is not able to handle a vector input -- I didn't look into why too much (like any).
The straightforward addressing of
b=i1:(i2-i1)/(n-1):i2;
doesn't work since only the first row is evaluated by colon().

If it's just the size you mean by "dimensions" sure...it uses the size of the inputs.
If by 'dimensions' you do mean an added subscript can expand to higher dimensions but reordering output starts to get messy...
>> x=randi(10,3,3,3); % sample 3D dataset
>> i1=min(x,[],3);i2=max(x,[],3); % the ranges per plane
>> n=repmat(4,size(i1)); % number same size
>> arrayfun(@linspace,i1,i2,n,'uniformoutput',0)
ans =
[1x4 double] [1x4 double] [1x4 double]
[1x4 double] [1x4 double] [1x4 double]
[1x4 double] [1x4 double] [1x4 double]
>> ans{1}
ans =
5.0000 6.3333 7.6667 9.0000
>> [i1(1,1) i2(1,1)]
ans =
5 9
>>
As you see, get a cell for each position -- permute/reshape to put into a 3D array. Will get even more convoluted keeping track of dimensions as continue to go to higher dimensionality.
