Use dynamic "offset" in a for-loop

Hi, I have a loop that starts with

for t = window:offset:numel(m);

However, I would like the "offset" value to be dynamic and adjust after each loop by:

    offset=0;
    for i = x:numel(m);
      if m(i,:) == true;
          for x = i+1:numel(m); 
              if m(x,:) == false;
                  offset = offset+1;
              else 
                  offset=offset+1;              
                  break,            
              end

          end
      else
          break;
      end 
    end

In this case, "m" is a vector of logical values where "1" is a monthly break. Hence, "offset" is the number of (in this case) trading days for each month.

Any suggestion of how I could accomplish this?

Many thanks, Sten

It would be better to use a while loop to increment t directly:

t = window;

while t < numel(m)
  % increment t instead of offset
end

The code you use to adjust offset has some serious problems, including this use of x:

for i = x:numel(m);
    ...
        for x = i+1:numel(m);

Many thanks Andrew, I tried a while-loop instead. Haha yep I need to check that part through. Br, Sten
