wildcard argument to load?

[Timon Schroeter]

Hi,

first of all: Octave is great software, thank you!

Is there any way to use a wildcard-character in an argument to "load"? I 
have a number of files I want to load one after the other. All filenames 
begin with a number, starting at one, going up to several hundred or 
even thousand. The numbers are followed by different strings. My plan 
was to use a loop to generate the numbers, turn them into strings using 
num2str and adding a wildcard like *. As each number between 1 and a 
certain uper limits exists and is unique it could work, but it doesn't. 
Obviously I could use a shell-script to rename all these files to have a 
constand string after the number, but if octave honors wildcards in 
filenames, I would prefer the first (more elegant) solution. Ideas?

Timon
