index of control loop that is a vector component

hi all,

in order to make my code more compact, i tried this :

for x(1) = lb(1) : d_x(1) : ub(1)
   for x(2) = lb(2) : d_x(2) : ub(2)
       ... and so on ...

and I got an error coming from left side of = sign, e.g. from x(1) and x(2) : Matlab R2010b seems not to accept such indexes that are array elements, meanwhile they are equivalent to scalars.

Is there another way of doing than using everywhere scalars for indexes, e.g. :

x1 = x(1);
x2 = x(2);
for x1 = lb(1) : d_x(1) : ub(1)
   for x2 = lb(2) : d_x(2) : ub(2)
       ... and so on ...

notice that right hand side of = sign seems OK. Also, for the sake of readability, I don't want to use recursivity.

Thanks to all

why for x(1) use

for x=

and why x=x(l)? the values lb(1) : d_x(1) : ub(1) will be assigned to x!

Thanks for your answer ; actually I have seven variables : x(1) to x(7) (i.e. those 7 variables are contained in the vector x), to make vary independantly, using FOR loops. In the example, I showed only the two first FOR statements.

when you use a variable x in the loop, the name you give to the variable is not important.
for x1=1:10
   y=sin(x1)  %for example
end

is the same then

 for x2=1:10
     y=sin(x2)  %for example
 end
