Make name in for loop and read table

Hi,

How can I make this working? now i got the error "Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type."

I want to use that name and open the table of the name i created.

 for p = 1:7
         Name = strcat('ScanRec',num2str(p))
         
         vins1 = unique(Name.vin);
 end

I guess you have tables called ScanRec1, ScanRec2, ...? If so, you can do almost what you want by making each table a field within a structure S, something like this:

S.ScanRec1 = table(vin,whatever);
S.ScanRec2 = table(vin,whatever);
% and so on

Then your for loop would be something like this:

 for p = 1:7
         Name = strcat('ScanRec',num2str(p))
         
         vins1 = unique(S.(Name).vin);
 end
