I would like to generate all the possible combinations of the elements of a given number of vectors.
For example, for [1 2], [1 2] and [4 5] I want to generate the elements:
[1 1 4; 1 1 5; 1 2 4; 1 2 5; 2 1 4; 2 1 5; 2 2 4; 2 2 5]
The problem is that I don't know the number of vectors for which I need to calculate the combinations. There might be 3 as in this case, or there may be 10, and I need a generalization. Can you please help me to this in MATLAB? Is there already a predefined function that can do this task?

Try ALLCOMB function at FileExchange.
If you store you vectors in a cell array, you can run it like this:
a = {[1 2], [1 2], [4 5]};
allcomb(a{:})
ans =
1 1 4
1 1 5
1 2 4
1 2 5
2 1 4
2 1 5
2 2 4
2 2 5
