Read Text file and then use the outputs in a loop

Hi i am just learning Matlab , any direction help would be great

I have a text file that contains 1 column. In this column is file paths. Some thing like this

C:\Users\jwalkerack\Documents\MTLAB\A_file.txt

C:\Users\jwalkerack\Documents\MTLAB\B_file.txt

C:\Users\jwalkerack\Documents\MTLAB\C_file.txt

i want to load these file path strings into a list , that i can then input into a for loop and do something

So far i have this

 fid = fopen('C:\Users\jwalkerack\Documents\Tiff_deminsions\In\To_Process.txt');

 % Read all lines & collect in cell array
 C = textscan(fid ,'%s')
 Y = C{1};
 Count = 0 
 for i=1:length(Y)
   elm = Y(i);
   display(elm)
   display(Count)
 end

When i display elm it does seem to print out the file path , but when i try and put it into the next step , it does not reconise it as being a string , is there way i can convert the elm variable to be a string/filename

thanks for your time

     but when i try and put it into the next step...this is not clear..what you tried to do exactly?

Change the parentheses to curly brackets:

 elm = Y{i};

And then learn about the difference between () and {} for cell arrays:
