I wish to do the following operation using nested 'for' loop. Can anybody help me to find the best solution preferably without using structure and functions.

1. I have 120 '.asc' files, each having 19 rows and 200 columns, named as F1.asc, F2.asc and so on.

2. I wish to load all the files in matlab environment one at a time and store in a different variable name as File1.mat, File2.mat and so on.

3. From loaded .mat file I wish to add each respective elements from each row one at a time and average it and save to another file as Avg1.asc, Avg2.asc and so on.

I tried the code something like this but encounters series of errors. Can you please help me to overcome this issue:

for i=1:19 %for summation of all 19 rows 
    S=zeros(1,200) %for the summation of rows elements
    for j=1:120 %for loading 120 files
        F(j)=dlmread('F',num2str(i),'.asc'); %read 120 .asc files named F1.asc, %F2.asc and so on
        A(j)=sum(F(j),S,[i,:]); %sum each elements from the particular row
     end
     Avg(i)=A(j)/120; %average each elements of first row individually from the             %loaded 120 files
     dlmwrite('Avg',num2str(i),'.asc',Avg(i)); %save each averaged file in '.asc' format
end

Thanks in advance.

It would be of great help to us if you could post an example file and expected outcome.
