How do I load a variable from another file?

I'm in the process of making a game where at the end it will compare your score to the high scores. I had to create separate files called highScores.m it contains:

global highScores

highScores = [0,0,0,0,0];

and highScoreNames.m :

global highScoreNames

highScoreNames = ['none';'none';'none';'none';'none'];

I am trying to load these variables using:

load('highScores.m');

load('highScoreNames.m');

but I get an error saying:

Error using load

Number of columns on line 2 of ASCII file highScores.m must be the same as previous lines.

Thanks!

[KSSV]

highScores = [0,0,0,0,0];
highScoreNames = ['none';'none';'none';'none';'none'];
save GameScores.mat

You load this .mat file..where you want the scores......don't use global......you can save data in matlab in various file formats.....have a look on save.
