I have a string saved as some variable. (say W='BLABLABLA') Now I want to load a file with the name BLABLABLA. How do I do this?

I can't just type LOAD W, because the program will search for a file named W.

I could of course type LOAD 'BLABLABLA', but I need to run the code for dozens of files. So I created a cell array (named A) with the names of all the files (as strings). Then I put the entire program in a "for loop" like this:

for q=1:24
filename = A(1,q); %now for example filename = 'BLABLABLA'
LOAD filename %I want it to do something like LOAD 'BLABLABLA'
........ << program code >>........
end

Have you read the documentation for load? There is a function form of
that command:

S = load(filename)
S = load(filename, variables)
S = load(filename, '-mat', variables)
S = load(filename, '-ascii')
....

Please read the documentation for functions before posting. You will
learn a lot on your own if you do so.
