For ... Next Loops

The problem

I would like to use xlsread to define inputs to a function - I have many combinations of inputs to contend

with (5000) and feel it would be easier to control via the use of an Excel Spreadsheet (rather than hard

coding in matlab)

However some of the inputs my be defined as say a = single doubles, b = loop from min:step:max, and

and c = series [low mid high] or even textual array. These would have to then form nested loops to step

over all combinations. Is there a method i can use within matlab m file to control how to configure to loops

I could loop round all the inputs in the xls sheet (accessed via xlsread) doing a checks to determine

which format the input may take and hence forming a nested loop

for loop1=a

for loop2=b

for loop3=c

DoFunc = func(loop1, loop2, loop3)

end

end

end

but given I may have 50 variables I do not really want 50 nested loops

Any suggestions of a elegant method (or alternatives) I could employ

Thank You

Stephen, thank you for the links, I think the allcomb function referenced on the final link is something I can use, its just a matter of sorting out how to get Matlab to handle inputs on the Excel worksheet which could be defined as either

Single values i.e. A = 5000;

Or a defined set of values A = [5000 10000 15000];

Or a range of values such A = 5000:5000:15000;

The singles I would not want to occupy the allcomb fields, but either of the other two options I would

I'll keep playing with my script to see if I can comeup with an elegant solution
