There's not enough context to figure out what is wrong, but the code below does what you want.

fid = fopen ("test.txt");
line = {};
line{end+1} = fgetl (fid);
line{end+1} = fgetl (fid);
line{end+1} = fgetl (fid);
fclose(fid);
line
line =

{
  [1,1] = This is the 1st line of the file.
  [1,2] = This is the 2nd line of the file.
  [1,3] = This is the 3rd line of the file.
}
