How to make loop where numbers in a line of code is filled in for me?

4 views (last 30 days)
How do I write a for loop for this? I want the number after station, and cast_number to be the same and looped with numbers from 1 - 24.
station01 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 01, :);
station02 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 02, :);
station03 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 03, :);
station04 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 04, :);
station05 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 05, :);
station06 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 06, :);
station07 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 07, :);
station08 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 08, :);
station09 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 09, :);
station10 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 10, :);
station11 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 11, :);
station12 = HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == 12, :);

Do not force meta-data into variable names. That is how you paint yourself into a corner.
Use arrays and indexing. Store meta-data in arrays, not in their names.

stations = arrayfun((CN)HB2501CTD (HB2501CTD . cast_number == CN), 1:12, 'uniform', 0);
then stations{1}, stations{2} and so on.
