How can I merge two strings?

I would like to load multiple files in a loop. Is it possible to merge strings as follows:

subjects=cell(19,1);
subjects{1}='s1';
subjects{2}='s2';
subjects{3}='s3';
subjects{4}='s4';
...

file_end='_stimulus1.mat';

I would need to merge subjects{i} and file_end to get:

data = load('s1_stimulus1.mat')
...

Thanks already in advance!

One way:

for k1 = 1:size(subjects,2)
    fname = [subjects{k1} file_end]
    load(fname)
end

e.g.

 string1 = 'blah';
 string2 = 'bla-de-blah';

 string3 = [string1 string2];

You'd need something like:

 data = load([subjects{i} file_end]);

if we have 'bla de blah' and want: bla-de-blah?

I think you also can do as follows

for i = 1:size(subjects,2
  mergestring = strcat(cell2str(subjects{i}),file_end)
end  
I think this will help you too as an alternative codes as suggested above
