how to write a array of string into a text file and how to read it back?

For example, I have a an array called `namelist` contains the following strings on each column:

    'img1.png'
    'img10.png'
    'img100.png'
    'img2.png'
    ...

I would like to record this array into a txt file and later read it back. (what I need is the order of those files).

What I am trying now is use

    dlmwrite('namelist.txt',namelist)

But it gives me a really ugly txt file which contains

    I,m,g,1,.,p,n,g,I,m,g,1,0,.,p,n,g,I,m,g,1,0,0,.,p,n,g,I,m,g,1,0,1,.,p,n,g,I,m,g,2,.,p,n,g,

and I have no idea how to read it back, i.e., to have array `nameless` as it before. I tried `dlmread` and `textscan` but none of them works... or I don't know the right way.

Any ideas?

file_name =  'namelist.txt' ;  
for i = 1:length(namelist)
  current_line = namelist{i};
    dlmwrite(file_name, current_line ,'delimiter','','-append', 'newline', 'pc');
end  
data = importdata(file_name )
