create a new matrix from values obtained iterating through other matricies - matlab

Question

In Matlab I have 4 matricies which are all 1(row) by 4(coloumns) (ABDC, EFGH, IJKL, MNOP)
Their names are also stored in a list
Stock_List2 = {'ABCD' 'EFGH' 'IJKL' 'MNOP'} and is a 1 by 4 cell.
I want to iterate through the list and create a new matrix called "display" which takes the values of the indvidual matricies and places them underneath each other)
I am trying something like
for e = 1:length(Stock_List2)
display(e) = eval(strcat(Stock_List2)(e))
end
Error: ()-indexing must appear last in an index expression.
However getting the following error expression which truthfully may well just be that I'm way off the mark.
As an example if the orginal matricies are as follows:
ABCD 1 2 3 4
DEFG 5 6 7 8
HIJK 9 8 7 6
LMNO 5 4 3 2
I would like the final output ie the 'display matrix to be a 4 by 4 matrix looking like
display
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 8 7 6
5 4 3 2

Answer 1

If I understood right you want to concatenate vertically the matrices ABDC, EFGH, IJKL and MNOP saving them in the matrix "display".
You could do:
display = [ABDC; EFGH; IJKL; MNOP]
or:
for i=1:length(Stock_List2)
display(i,:) = Stock_List2{i}
end

Answer 2

Apologies if what I wanted wasnt clear - I've got the following from a colleague which achieves the desired result
for e=1:length(Stock_List2)
eval(strcat('display_mat(e,:) = ',Stock_List2{e}));
end
