loading incremented files

[James Cooley]

I am trying to process alot of data which is in seperate ascii data
files they are named

stuff1.dat
stuff2.dat
stuff3.dat
...
stuff100.dat

I would like to have octave load each file individually, do some
processing, save a value and load the next to continue the cycle.  I
have tried making a string variable which would increment the file,
e.g.,

for i=1:100
temp = ['stuff',i,'.dat']
load -ascii temp
end

but this tries to load the file 'temp' not stuff#.dat.  How can I get
octave to load each file individually without doing it manually???

Thanks James Cooley
