How to extract a vector from a matrix and save in workspace?

Hi all, so I have a matrix, for example:

M = [2 5 8

3 6 9

4 7 10]

I want to extract each column vector [2; 3; 4] and save them with names like: vector_1, vector_2... and so forth

Is it possible? and if so, can I use them in a loop using their names?

like this (totally wrong)

for i = 1: quantity of vectors

vector_1.....

Is it possible?

Thank you in advance

"can I use them in a loop using their names" NO

but you can loop over the columns of the matrix

for jj = 1 : size( M, 1 )
    M( :, jj ) 
end

Perfect! Sounds good!
