Change the name of array in each iteration

I would like to group together in a Matrix some data for each year. For example for year 2000 i would like to create the Matrix C_2000 for 2001 C_2001 etc. My code is the following, my problem is that i don't know how i should write the name of the matrix, since when i am using C_ye Matlab doesn't understand ye like a variable.

for yy=2000:2010

    ye=num2str(yy);
    C_ye=[];
    path =strcat('e:\test\',ye,'\');
    filefolder=strcat(path,'*.dat');
    files=dir(filefolder);
    for i=1:length(files)
        filename=strcat(path,files(i).name);
        yr=filename(42:43);
        doy=filename(39:41);
        doy=str2double(doy);
        yr=str2double(yr);
        A=importdata(filename);
        B=A.data;
        hh=floor(B(:,1));
        mm=floor((B(:,1)-hh)*60);
        ss=((B(:,1)-hh)*60-mm)*60;
        mm=round(mm+ss/60);
        yr=repmat(yr,size(B,1),1);
        doy=repmat(doy,size(B,1),1);
        C_ye=[C_ye yr doy hh mm B(:,2)];   
    end
cleavars -except C_ye
end

Thank you, Kostas

Don't Do It!

doc cell

is probably a good place to start. As far as simple help, change the () to {};

C = cell(5,1);
for ii = 1:5
  C{ii} = magic(ceil(rand*10));
end
% a 5x1 cell array with randomly sized magic squares

How could i separate each year in a distinct matrix or file then?

[David Young]

Put them in a cell array.

[Kostas]

Could you help me please because i haven't "worked" with cells, so i have no idea how i could implement it.

Thanks, it seems so simple i just change this part

C = cell(11,1);
for yy=2000:2010
ii=yy-1999;
.....
C{ii}=[yr doy hh mm B(:,2)];
end
