Formatting Multiple Curves in One Plot

I have a fairly basic question that I have not been able to figure out.

I would simply like to code in the plotting format so I do not have to manually change the solid lines to dash via editor tools.

I am confused because I can not use plot(x,y,'-r') since I am plotting a large array. See below..

plot(Parse(1).data(1:256,1),[Parse(1).data(1:256,2) Parse(2).data(1:256,2) Parse(3).data(1:256,2) Parse(4).data(1:256,2) Parse(5).data(1:256,2) Parse(6).data(1:256,2) Parse(7).data(1:256,2) Parse(8).data(1:256,2)])

Thanks in advanced..

Try plot(x,y1,x,y2,...,x,yn) instead of plot(x,[y1 y2 ... yn]).

Your solution would work but I think it is a bit cumbersome.

here is something I figured out...

LineSpec={'r','g','b','c','r:','g:','b:','c:'};
      for p=1:8

            semilogy(Parse(1).data(1:256,1),Parse(p).data(1:256,2),LineSpec{p})
            hold on
        end
