Create text string vector

I would like to creat a text string vector to import data into Matlab, looking like:

A=['C:\Data\file1.txt'
    C:\Data\file2.txt'
    C:\Data\file3.txt'
    C:\Data\file4.txt'
    C:\Data\file5.txt'
    C:\Data\file6.txt'
    C:\Data\file7.txt']

What I tried to do does not really work out:

for i=1:7
eval(['A=['C:\Data\file' num2str(i) '.txt']']);
end

Would be great, if anybody could help me.

Thanks a lot

Hi Stefanie,

How about using a cell array.

A={'C:\Data\file1.txt',
    'C:\Data\file2.txt',
    'C:\Data\file3.txt',
    'C:\Data\file4.txt',
    'C:\Data\file5.txt',
    'C:\Data\file6.txt',
    'C:\Data\file7.txt'};

Then you can use A{1}, A{2}, and so on.

If you want to do it your way:

    for nn = 1:5  
    test = ['c:\data\file' num2str(nn) '.txt'], 
    end
