Thats a really bad idea.

 x={}; %real code
 loop starts here %pseudocode
 stuff = your input function that gets an input %pseudocode
 x{end+1} = stuff; %real code - the way you should do it
 eval(['x' num2str(loop_counter) ' = stuff;']) % real code - slow and awkward until the loop counter gets huuuge.
 loop ends here %pseudocode

 x{1}
 x{2} 
 x{3}

If the input is limited to a single character, then the () can and should be swapped for {}.
