Question

This is the current code I’m attempting to use in order to loop through a “list” of tickers to load the corresponding file. However, Matlab doesn’t seem to like to accept separate strings. I’m not quite sure how Matlab functions yet. However, it is clear that it does not handle text as easily as Python.

    Stocks = {'JPM','KO','GOOG','PG'};
    for Stock = Stocks;
        stockData.(Stock) = load(Stock '.csv');
    end

Answer 1

Your syntax is invalid. I don’t know what stockData is, and what you want to assign to it, but here’s a loop that iterates through the cell array Stocks and loads each file in turn:

Stocks = {'JPM','KO','GOOG','PG'};
for i = 1:length(Stocks);
    load([Stocks{i}, '.csv'])
end

You can keep going from here.
