How to load specific files according to vector values?

I have a vector ii(1:20):

ii(1:20)

ans =

     2
     5
     9
    10
    11
    15
    16
    17
    18
    20
     1
     3
     4
     6
     7
     8
    12
    13
    14
    19

I want to load files according to the values inside the vector, i.e.: to load file called '2.mat', '5.mat', '9.mat' and so on. But I need only the first 10 values of ii (ii(1:10)) (then I combine them in a struct..but that's not relevant).

So this is what I have so far:

for ii=???
  load(sprintf('%d.mat', a));
  Struct(n).file=Cycle;
end

So how do I load the first 10 values from the vector?

Thank you all!!

First thing, use better variable names. ii is really bad, it does not mean anything and looks like a temporary variable. Let's call it filenumber instead so it's immediately clear what the purpose of the variable is.

filenumber = [2 5 9 10 11 15 16 17 18 20 1 3 4 6 7 8 12 13 14 19];
filestoload = 10;
cycles = struct('Cycle', cell(1, filestoload));  %predeclare structure
for idx = 1:filestoload;
  filecontent = load(sprintf('%d.mat, filenumber(idx)));  %avoid plain load, always load into a variable
  cycles(idx).Cycle = filecontent.Cycle;
end

Something like this?

 for k = 1:10
    data = load([num2str(ii(k)) '.mat']);
    dataStruct(k).file=data.Cycle;
 end

Let ii be your above vector.

for i = 1:10
    filename = strcat(num2str(ii(i)),'.mat') 
    load(filename);
end
