correct syntax for appending number to word in for loop

Hello,

I was wondering if somebody could help me with a for loop.

In the for loop below, what would be the correct syntax be to make the variable dt equal to dt1 in the first loop? How do you append a 1 onto the dt? So that dt = dt1?

Thank you for your help

Journeynumber=3;
dt1=2;
at1=4;
dt2=7;
at2=8;

for j=1:Journeynumber

      dt = dt"j";

end

for i = 1:10;
    str = ['dt' num2str(i)]
end

Thanks for your help.

How could I make the dt in the loop equal to the dt1 defined above (i.e. 2)?

At the moment dt = dt1 but what I want is dt1 = 2 in the loop.

Thanks
