menu not showing elements in string array

Hi,

im trying to open an menu with a string array and a additional option like

savedFileNames = ["fic1.txt" "fich2.txt" "fich3.txt" "fich4.txt"];

menuOption = menu('Choose file.', savedFileNames, 'Return to previous menu');

when i run the code the menu only has the first string(fic1.txt) and the 'return to menu' options. How do i fix this?

menuOption = menu('Choose file.', savedFileNames{:}, 'Return to previous menu');

This passes the elements of savedFileNames as a list of input arguments to menu, rather than passing the entire savedFileNames array as a single input argument to menu.
