Matlab set all return values at once

I have a function taking and returning a list of variables [a,b,c] etc. Because of the layout of the program I've assigned these to a variable as p=[a,b,c] and then iterated through them to set them (because matlab has no for i in [] statement that I can find).

I thus have all the return values set in a list/array p, to return. How do I set them all at once? I tried [a,b,c]=p but that doesn't work; I could manually set them as a=p(1),b=p(2) etc but that seems rather inelegant.

`[a,b,c]=deal(p)`. There's a duplicate out there probably on this. – Divakar Feb 26 '15 at 18:47
Use `deal` or use `repmat` on a cell array version of `p` and then use the accepted answer to the linked dup question. – Divakar Feb 26 '15 at 18:59
Many thanks; sorry didn't spot the duplicate. That works perfectly. – 2e0byo Feb 26 '15 at 22:32
