I need multiple variable names to have the same text included in the name. Is there a way to do this? For example, I want something like:
text='AB1'
aAB1=1;
bAB1=2;
cAB1=3;
But rather than writing AB1 I want to call text and have that insert AB1 into the variable name. Basically a(text) is aAB1 and b(text) is bAB1.
This may seem like a waste of time as it would be quicker to type AB1 each type rather than evaluating text, but I will be copying the same code multiple times and I want to only change text each time rather than the names of all the variables. Thanks, Matt

Basically you should not do this. Using dynamically defined variable names or encoding data within the variable name is a pretty bad idea in MATLAB, as is described on many threads on MATLAB Answers:
The first of these links gives an excellent alternative, which is what you should probably be using for your data: structures . In particular you can dynamically assign the field names, as this example shows:
>> A.title = 'My Data'; % not dynamically set
>> A.data = [1,2,3]; % not dynamically set
>> A.('any_name') = 'this fieldname has been set dynamically';
You should read these:

To add to that, either:
AB1.a = 1;
AB1.b = 2;
AB1.c = 3;
or
AB1 = containers.Map( { 'a', 'b', 'c' }, [1, 2 3] );
AB1('a')
ans =
1
would work better for your example than individually named variables. Obviously there may be better ways too depending what you really want these variables for.
A simple array is usually the best approach when all the values being assigned are of the same type and just index into it numerically. The map above works the same except your indices are strings 'a', 'b', 'c' or whatever other string you want instead.

Also using standard MATLAB syntax:
AB1 = struct('a',1, 'b',2, 'c',3);
