??? In an assignment A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and I must be the same

Good morning everyone,

I am attempting to make a matrix that lists the directory of all the text files within a folder:

if true
d = uigetdir(pwd, 'Select a folder.');
f = fullfile(d,'*txt');
files = dir(f);
l = length(files);
file = zeros(1,l);
for i = 1:l
  file(i) = fullfile(d,files(i).name)
  i = i+1;
end
end

But I continue to receive this error:

??? In an assignment A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and I must be the same.

Error in ==> open_ex at 9 file(1) = fullfile(d,files(1).name);

Please help, thank you in advance

Try using a cell array to store the file names:

file = cell(1,l);
for i = 1:l
  file{i} = fullfile(d,files(i).name)
  i = i+1;
end
end
