Repeated string what been increment by 1?

Hello,

I have this code below that have a lot of repeated parts which are string

Any idea how to improve and make it more denser

for i= 1: 10
    if i==6
        if exist('A_6', 'file') == 2
            load A_6;
        else
            run Test
        end

      elseif i==7
          if exist('A_7.mat', 'file') == 2
              load A_7;
          else
              run Test
          end

      elseif i==8
          if exist('A_8.mat', 'file') == 2
              load A_8;
          else
              run Test
          end

      elseif i==9
          if exist('A_9.mat', 'file') == 2
              load A_9;
          else
              run Test
          end

      elseif i==10
          if exist('A_10.mat', 'file') == 2
              load A_10;
          else
              run Test
          end
      end
  end

It is basically check if file is available, if the file is available load it otherwise run the Test file to get the values.

The approach is questionable, but let's say that technically you can do this:

 for k = 6 : 10
    baseName = sprintf( 'A_%d', k ) ;
    if exist( [baseName, '.mat'], 'file' )
       load( baseName ) ;
    else
       run Test
    end
 end

PS: I used k instead of i, because we usually keep i and j for complex numbers. If your script Test uses i from the workspace though (which would not be a good practice), you will have to either use i as a loop index, or update the script so it uses k.
