How can I read a text file into a list?

I have a text file containing strings in each row, e.g.

ABC

DEF

PQR

I would like to end up with an object that i can index - i.e. x(1) = 'ABC', x(2) = 'DEF', x(3) = 'PQR'.

You can read into a cell array:

>> data = fileread('file_name');
>> x = strsplit(data);
>> x{1}

ans =

ABC

>> x{2}

ans =

DEF
