load data input from data list

i have a data list

D:\01_AA\A1.dat

D:\01_AA\A2.dat

D:\01_AA\B1.dat

and i used

[data_list]=textread('data_list_set.dat', '%s');

and i want to read data from data_list in workspace. like this...

[A B C D] = textread(data_list(1,:), '%f%f%f%f' );
[A B C D] = textread(data_list(2,:), '%f%f%f%f' );
[A B C D] = textread(data_list(3,:), '%f%f%f%f' );
[A B C D] = textread(data_list(4,:), '%f%f%f%f' );

but it doesn't work.

textread() is on its way you; you should switch to textscan().
