How do I import text from a text file in matlab?

I have a list like this in a MacBook text file.

frame
picture
wall
room
house

I want to import it in Matlab and use every word in a loop. How do I import the list so I can use it from another handle?

I know how to use it in the loop after I get lenght of matrix and make a loop from 1:end.

Possibly textscan to place all words into a cell, but the page is down at the moment so I can't confirm if textscan is correct.

S = regexp( fileread('TheFileName'), '\s+', 'split')

Now S is a cell array of the words in the file
