read list of words

[tuli]

Hello,

I simply need to read an ascii file that consists of a number of names into an array in Matlab.

say the file is:

aaa
bbb
ccc
....


I need to create an array aa in matlab where aa(1)='aaa', a2='bbb' .... and where the values ARE NOT CELLS but strings

thank you

Hello,
I don't think that adresses the issue.
Let me try again: I have a file with strings in it. Matlab does not know they are strings. They are NOT defined as "aaa", "bbb" ... but aaa, bbb ...
Matlab has to read the list in the file and assign them to an array of strings

"I have a file with strings in it. "

>> So, use one of the many Matlab file I/O functions:

"Matlab does not know they are strings. "

>> You're the programmer, you know they're strings and you use variables and functions to process strings.

TTFN (ta ta for now)
I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!
