Variable number of output arguments

Hi everyone,

I am wondering how I can dynamically change the number of returned arguments I want to receive from a function. Example:

function foo()
  a = fooyootoo(3)
end

function varargout = fooyootoo(n)
  for i = 1:n
    varargout{i}=i;
  end
end

I would like to define 'a' so that it is a cell array with a dynamic number of cells between 1 and n. Note, I do not want to execute the function fooyootoo() more than once.

Thanks,

James

function foo()
  n = 3;
  [a{1:n}] = fooyootoo(n);
end

It would be easier to reply a cell directly.

Thanks Jan,

So simple... :)
