How to call a Variable from a List Dialog Box

Hey everyone,

Im trying to get the values out of a variable which I have defined already but I don't call them unless I select it from a list.

Var1 = [10, 5, -1, 2, 3]
Var2 = [5, 6, 7, 8]
... etc
List = {'Var1','Var2'};
[indx] = listdlg('ListString',List,'SelectionMode','Single')

% Selected the variable from list
VarChosen = List{indx}

%VarChosen = 'Var1'

So here when I select it i get a Char of 'Var1'

What I need is the values of Var 1 so that

Var1_A = Var1(1)
Var1_B = Var1(2)
Var_1C = Var1(3)... etc

I think i'm just missing a way for the Character Array to be seen as the variable for it to call.. I don't know.

Any help would be appreciated.

30 minutes later and I have found out how to solve it

Basically I had to make my Variables into a Structure instead of trying to dynamically calling them

S.Var1 = [10, 5, -1, 2, 3]
S.Var2 = [5, 6, 7, 8]

List = fieldnames(S)
[indx] = listdlg('ListString',List,'SelectionMode','Single')

Var_Chosen = S.(List{indx})

Var1_A = Var_Chosen(1)

This gave me the correct value from the Variable which I was looking for

Var1_A = 10
