setappdata and getappdata for multiple variables

Hi,

I am trying to write a code like

function function1=givenfunction(variable)

for i=1:length(variable)

setappdata (0,'data_(i)',variable(i))

end

end

The '(i)' after 'data_' puts a number stored in 'i'. In another function, I would like to get the data like

function function2=anotherfunction

for i=1:length(variable)

m(i)=getappdata (0,'data_(i)')

end

end

How should I do it? Please help me.

[Walter Roberson]

function function1=givenfunction(variable)
  for i=1:length(variable)
    setappdata(0, sprintf('data_%d', i), variable(i))
  end
end

This would not be recommended. You would typically be much more efficient to just store the entire vector and retrieve it all and pull out the parts you want.
