Or if you do not want to hard code it:

result = cell(1, 100);
index  = 0; 
for k=1:100
  fid = fopen(['file_' num2str(k)  '.txt']);
  if fid ~= -1
    result{index, 1} = textscan(fid,'%f %f %f %f %f');
    fclose(fid)
  end
end
result = result(1:index);  % Crop empty cells

idx = 1:100;
idx([50 69]) = []; %You could also use an if statement inside the loop, but this might be more efficient
for k=idx
    fid=fopen(['file_' num2str(k)  '.txt']);
    if fid == -1, error('Cannot open file'),end         
    result{k,1}=textscan(fid,'%f %f %f %f %f');
    fclose(fid)
end
