assigning (numerical) names to multiple eigenvectors

Hello!

I have a a 3-d matrix (called 'newmatrix') of 28, 12x12 matrices. I am trying to get the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for all the matrices and at the end of my program have: for j = 1:28; [V,D] = eigs(newmatrix(:,:,j)) end .

The problem I'm having is that MATLAB prints out all of the eigenvalues and their respective eigenvectors consecutively, without any assigned name or number to them. I want to work with these eigenvectors (particularly those that go with the eigenvalue of 1) and think that my first step is being able to name everything. Any ideas on how I can do this?

SIDE NOTE: the matrices were originally 6x6 matrices that were made symmetrical and then weighted so that there are only real eigenvalues and that there is always an eigenvalue of 1.

Ok, after two days of pulling out my hair, I thought of the incredibly simple solution of changing [V,D] = eigs(newmatrix(:,:,j)) to [V(:,:,j),D(:,:,j)] = eigs(newmatrix(:,:,j)) right as I clicked "submit" to my post.

Thanks, anyway! I'm sure I'll be back with a question later.
