Use xlsread

i think that this function is only useful to read numbers,and I'm looking to read sentences

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

No, it's not true

[num,str]=xlsread(yourfile)

[Ahmed BOULMANE]

hello! i used the function xlsread to do that: "[num,txt]=xlsread(nameoffile,'C:C')" then txt(indice,1)='xxxxxxxxxxxxx' so, when i do that: FileName =txt(indice,1) ==> the result is : FileName= 'xxxxxxxxxxxx' but me, i want to do that: FileName='xxxxxxxxxxxx' ==> FileName=xxxxxxxxxxxx in order to use FileName in my script
