Matlab: Using a Variable in Address of Loading

Question

A text file could be loaded as below:

load sourceETA/Record1/result1.txt

How can I use a variable in address of loading? For example (n is a variable):

[load 'sourceETA/Record1/result',num2str(n),'.txt']

But the above code doesn't work! How do I do?

If you would have just typed help load into Matlab you'd have your answer. — Setsu

The documentation: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/load.html, shows that you can supply a string to load by doing:

load(filename)

where filename is a string. In your case, you can do:

load(['sourceETA/Record1/result',num2str(n),'.txt'])
