conatinate matrix which is getting updated in loop

hi,

for s=1:500

 consall1(s,:,:)=[cons1, cons2, cons31, cons32, cons33, cons34];

end

from above mentioned for loop.I need a single matrix with 6 rows.please reply with your ideas.

Why are you putting the same result into 500 different layers of your consall1 result? There are quicker ways to achieve that than in a loop if it is what you really wish to do.

What do you mean by a single matrix with 6 rows? A 2d matrix? We have no idea what cons1, cons2, etc are in your example. Are they scalars? matrices?

@sita: Your statements and the code given contradict each other:

for s = 1:500
    consall1(s,:,:) = ...
end

will create an array with 500 rows. But you also state that "I need a single matrix with 6 rows". So which do you want: 500 or 6 rows?

Also the allocation

consall1(s,:,:) = [cons1, cons2, cons31, cons32, cons33, cons34];

will fit the given values into one row of consall1 based on the indexing used, regardless of their orientation in a vector, so reshaping the vector will not change the shape of the output array.

You need to explain the problem better, with an example of the desired output.

my cons1....cons34 changes in loop so after every iteration i have different consall1..i want to combine them with 500 rows 6 coloms..soryy for not explaining clearly

So besides the needless introduction of a third dimension, what is wrong with your code fragment? I assume that you cannot vectorize the calculation of cons1,...34. To speed up a bit (though it won't make a big difference here), you can preallocate consall1 with

consall1=zeros(500,6);

and then start overwriting the zeros with the values in the loop.
