How to create a variable from cell array contents?

I have a cell Array vector as attached (length may vary). It contains variable names.

 mycell =
  5×1 cell array
    {'x'   }
    {'y'   }
    {'var1'}
    {'var2'}
    {'var3'}

How to create a new variable as follows?

 out = [x;y;var1;var2;var3];

This approach will force you into writing slow, complex, buggy code. Read this to know why:

Rather than accessing variable names in the workspace, you should revise your concept and use simpler, more efficient, and more robust methods, e.g. indexing, structure+fieldnames, table+variables, etc.

Thank you for advice Stephen. I think I will go with tables then.

You can use struct:

for idx_cell = 1:size(mycell,1) out.(mycell{idx_cell})={}; end
