output from an if statment

i'm trying to take the output from an if statement inside a for loop in an array but the values are getting overwritten here is my code

    % clc
clear
n=input('enter number of variables:     ');
r=input('please enter the limit:    ');
z = cell(1,n);
y = zeros(1,n);
f = zeros(1,n);
for i=1:n
    z{i}=input('enter the variable name:   ','s');
    y(i)=input('assign a number to this variable:       ');
    f(i)=input('second variable:     ');
end
[ys,j]=sort(y,'descend');
fs=f(j);
zs=z(j);
k=n;
for l=1:n
    if fs(l)>r 
      disp('This mud type can not be used')
       disp(zs(l))
       fx=length(fs(l));
       zn=cell(1,fx);
       zn(l)=zs(1);

    end
    end
   input('end')

These statements:

       zn=cell(1,fx);
       zn(l)=zs(1);

The first statement above wipes out any previous values/cells you had assigned to the variable zn and replaces it the a cell array containing empty cells. So you need to rewrite this code. What exactly do you want saved each iteration?
