Hello Dear readers,

I need to create new variable (in the workspace) with the name of the variables in a array of cell .

exemple the following array of cell signal = [{'time'},{'voltage'}....]

i need to create a 2 variables . first variable has the name of the first element ( time) and the second with the name voltage.so i can see in the workspace time and voltage . Any help or information please ?

Thanks in advance

That is a really bad way to write code.

Consider if your cell contained names like these, what would happen:

{'delete','quit','1234','hello world','speed (ms)','if','N/A'}

Robust code does not force meta-data into variable names, but simply stores it in variables, just like you already have.

When you understand that meta-data is data, then you can start to write much better code.
