create matrix in for loop with dynamic variable

I am wanting to replace the following:

%sensor 1 through 19 are numerical arrays of data.

i=19; %Sensor #

sensor=[sensor1 sensor2 sensor3 sensor4 sensor5 sensor6 sensor7 sensor8 sensor9 sensor10 sensor11 sensor12 sensor13 sensor14 sensor15 sensor16 sensor17 sensor18 sensor19];

with:

f=1;

for f=1:i

      evaluate([sensor(:,f)= 'sensor' num2str(f)]);

      f=f+1;

end

Any suggestions?

Janae - why are you doing this after you have created the 19 local variables? Why not just create/update sensor when you read (or determine) the sensor data for each of the 19 arrays?
