MATLAB: Add string to matrix/ array in loop

for loopMATLABmatrixstring

I wrote this function to get the full paths of all files in a specific folder:
 function [ paths ] = getPaths(folder)
 %GETPATHS Get full path of files containing a given folder
 filelist = dir(folder);
 filenames = {filelist.name};
 paths = zeros(numel(filenames),1);
 for k=3:numel(filenames)
    [pathstr, name, ext] = fileparts(filenames{k});
    current_path = [folder pathstr name ext];
    paths(k) = current_path;
 end
 end
I get the error message:
 ???  In an assignment  A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and
 I must be the same.
 Error in ==> getPaths at 10
    paths(k) = current_path;
How can I add string to matrix/ array in loop?

fldr = 'C:\Users\Oleg\Desktop\'; 
s = dir(fldr);
strcat(fldr, {s(~[s.isdir]).name})
