title: Trouble opening files from filelist in MATLAB
body: <p>I have a list of filenames saved in a 51X1 cell matrix
  obtained by using <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2652630/how-to-get-all-files-under-a-specific-directory-in-matlab">this function</a> and
  i want to use fastaread or any other matlab txt reading function
  to read those files.</p>
  
  <p>They are in the following form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\mixalic\Desktop\fastasequences\AB062619_FASTA_328312477664609773.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the problem is that when i use</p>
  
  <pre><code>fastaread(filelist(i))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error using fastaread (line 53)
  Input must be a character array
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i tried to convert my cell array to character array but then it will only read C:
  and report:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error using fastaread (line 158)
  Input does not exist or is not a valid FASTA file.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or when i use load:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error using load
  Unable to read file C: No such file or directory.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much</p>
