How do I store results generated in a loop when they are of different lengths?

for i=1:390
find(mat(:,4)==i);
end;

I'm searching a matrix for values in the 4th column.
Because of the data therein, find will return a different number of indices for each value of i
(find i==1 returns 100 indicies, i == 2 returns 75, etc)

I need to store those results as they are collected, and refer back to them by the value of i as an index.

I'm a newbie and would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Use cell arrays.

foundindices{i} = find(mat(:,4)) == i;

Noitice the {} instead of () .

You need to use a cell array:
c{i}=find(mat(:,4)==i);
Note the curly brackets.

BTW, some gratuitous advice:
Don't use i or j as indices.
By default, Matlab treats them as sqrt(-1).
Use symbols like k, m, n, ia, etc.

thank you Derek on both counts
