Then do following code

for i = 1:1:nLines
fprintf('%d: %s\n',i,fileStr{i})
end
fprintf('This file has %d lines', nLines)

hello

you can add these lines to your code :

for ci = 1:nLines
    if size(fileStr{ci})>0
        disp([num2str(ci) ' : ' fileStr{ci}]);
    end
end

FYI, the if statement line is to not display empty cells , but if you wish to have it, just remove that statement;

all the best
