I would like to successively load data from, for example,
files named "myfile1," "myfile2," "myfile3,"... etc.
If I create a string variable holding the file name,
and try to load it with

for ii=1:200
filename=["myfile" num2str(ii)]
load filename
end

octave tries to load from the file "filename," not "file1," etc.
How do I force evaluation of the string variable in the load (or save)
commands?
