How to selectively import multiple sheets from an xls file

Hi,
I have an .xls file with over 50 sheets. i would like to import multiple sheets from the file.
Assuming an xls file named testfile.xls,, with sheets named Sheet 1, 2 ....50, what I would like to import is
n = [4,5,8,15,23,44];
for i = 1:length(n)
[M, strings, raw] = xlsread('testfile.xls','Sheet {n(i)}')
end
I tried using
[M, strings, raw] = xlsread('testfile.xls','Sheet %d',n(i))
and
[M, strings, raw] = xlsread('testfile.xls','Sheet 'num2str(nb(i)))
I am not sure how I should do this.
I would be most grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Regards, Deb

Try
n = [4,5,8,15,23,44];
for k = 1:length(n)
sheetName = sprintf('Sheet %d', n(k));
[M, strings, raw] = xlsread('testfile.xls', sheetName);
end
Of course you're overwriting M on each iteration......
