Building a Table Within a While Loop

I am having trouble building a table within a while loop. Here is how I have the loop set up:

while mwater>0

(The program performs operations on many variables here)

printcounter=printcounter+1;

if printcounter==9

T=table(t,Pair,Temp,Fthrust,Fgravity,Fdrag,Fnet,mwater,mair,mtotal,arocket,vrocket,x);
printcounter==0;

end

end

The way I have it set up, the entire table is rewritten with each iteration of the loop. I need each iteration to add another row onto the table, does anyone know how I could do this?

Build up each of your columns, in whatever way works, in advance. Use a loop if you have to. Then just call table() once after all columns have been constructed.

Sorry, I have very little MATLAB experience. What would you suggest as the best way to build the columns?

As an example:

printcounter = 0;
mwater = 1;
loopCounter = 1;
while loopCounter<5
  printcounter=printcounter+1;
  if printcounter==9
    printcounter=0;
  end
  t(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 2;
  Pair(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 3;
  Temp(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 4;
  Fthrust(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 5;
  Fgravity(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 6;
  Fdrag(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 7;
  Fnet(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 8;
  mwater(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 9;
  mair(loopCounter) = loopCounter * rand(1);
  mtotal(loopCounter) = loopCounter * sind(90*rand(1));
  arocket(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 10;
  vrocket(loopCounter) = loopCounter * 11;
  x(loopCounter) = rand
  loopCounter = loopCounter + 1;
end
T=table(t',Pair',Temp',Fthrust',Fgravity',Fdrag',Fnet',mwater',mair',mtotal',arocket',vrocket',x')

The ' is to transpose the row vectors into columns. Adapt as you see fit.
