How to use writetable command in a for loop

while using writetable command in a for loop i'm able to save the text file only for the last iteration value. Hoe can i save all the text files using this writetable command?

for m=1:10
test = [m:m+20];
T=table(test);
writetable(T,['test' num2str(m) '.txt'],'Delimiter','\t');
end
here is the solution! this code generates text files with the names: test1.txt, test2.txt.... using the for loop in MATLAB

Do you know how to adjust this to export as an excel file? I'm getting an error saying the delimiter is an invalid parameter
@Ellen Berry Go through the documentation of writematrix to understand the proper syntax.
If your error still persists, ask a new question specifying the problem/error you are facing.
@Ellen Berry: For writing an Excel file (e.g., .xlsx), omit the 'Delimiter','\t' arguments. Delimiter is for text files only.
for m=1:10
test = [m:m+20];
T=table(test);
writetable(T,['test' num2str(m) '.xlsx']);
end
