Loading multiple files

[sar7501-octave]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to read a large number of files into Octave at once where
the filenames only differ slightly - file_001.txt, file_002.txt, etc. I've been
using the following code:

--------
for i=1:10
  filename=strcat("file_",sprintf("%03d",i),".txt")
  eval(["load ",filename]);
endfor
--------

to do this but it's obviously pretty slow due to the use of the eval command.
Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for your help,

Scott
