MATLAB: Help with “dir” command

Question

good morning I have a problem with the command "dir":

I want to find some files which names are f.e. : 10.txt,11.txt,12.txt, etc. and list them within a cell or an array

I tried with this:

    for i=10:20
      file = dir(fullfile(open_folder, ['*' i '*' '.txt']))
    end
    neither
file(i) = dir(fullfile(open_folder, ['*' i '*' '.txt']))

works (mismatched dimension or something similar).

the resulting structure is just the file with the last numerical value (i.e. '20.txt' in this case)

is there a possibility to have a cell, or a matrix with all the files found?

Thanks
