Can you help to create a new variable on each loop?

Hi All,

I would like to have a new "data" variable below to be created on each iteration of this loop - length(files) = 12; My end goal is to then create one cell array with the portion extracted out of each text file.

Below works fine for just one text file but I would like to loop for each file and end up having say

data_1 = {1 2 3 4};
data_2 = {5 6 7 8};
data_3 = {9 10 11 12};

data = [data_1;data_2;data_3]

Much appreciated, Jeff

p.s Image if you see this I hope you realize I am building from previous work

-----------------------------------

files = dir(*.txt');

for j = 1:length(files)
    filename(j,:) = char(files(j,:).name);
    fid(j,:) = fopen(filename(j,:), 'r');
end
    filename = cellstr(filename);

for j = 1:length(fid);
    tline = fgetl(fid(j));
    k=1;
while ischar(tline)
    disp(tline)
    findrows = and(strfind(tline, 'ARR++'),strfind(tline,':20134:'));
    if ~isempty(findrows)
        data{k,:} = tline(:);
        k=k+1;
    end
    tline = fgetl(fid(j));
end
clear tline m n;
fclose(fid(j));
end
