I get a frustrating error with dlmread MATLAB, it cannot read my input file

I want to read a bunch of files inside a loop function in MATLAB, but when I try the following code:

j = (i * 2000000);
A = dlmread('gr_at_0.l_%d', j);

I get the following error:

Error using sprintf
Invalid format.

Error in dlmread (line 71)
    delimiter = sprintf(delimiter); % Interpret \t (if necessary)

Error in RDF (line 15)
    A = dlmread('gr_at_0.l_%d', j);

the following file is one of the many files that I want to read:

'''gr_at_0.1_0'''

I would appreciate any comment.

You are using wrong syntax for dmlread. Please read the documentation.

The second argument, for which you pass j, an integer number, is the delimiter that the function will use to separate numbers in the file.

I think you intend to do:

fname = sprintf('gr_at_0.l_%d', j);
A = dlmread(fname);

Note that dmlread is no longer recommended (i.e. deprecated), you should use readmatrix since MATLAB R2019a.
