Load constants from file

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to load constants defined in an external file to the workspace, keeping their original names.
I generate a row of constants, using an external application, that looks like this:
A=1
B=2
C=3
Now, I'd like to load this data (which is stored in a file) into the Matlab workspace, preserving the constant names, so that, after the import, the A, B and C constants with the corresponding values are visible in the workspace and usable in my model.
I have full control on the imported file's format, too.
Any idea on how to achieve this, is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Cristian,
you can use the eval('') command to do what you described. First you have to open the file, read line by line and
eval('A=1');
Then you have the variable in your base workspace.

Another solution is to create a file, lets call it loadconstants.m. In that file just put
A=1;
B=2;
C=3;
Then when you want to load the constants simply type
loadconstants
