Load string from a pxp file to current experiment as a different name?

I know you can use the LoadData command to grab a variable, string, or wave from a saved experiment to the current one; however, is it possible to do so but have the imported object be given a new name? I have a string declared in a set of separate pxp files, and I would like to grab each into the current file, but have them be itemized. So for instance, the string name is "MyStr" so when imported from the first file it should be "MyStr1", and then "MyStr2" for the second file, etc., until all strings have been imported.
Set the current data folder to some other data folder (create a temporary one, perhaps) and run LoadData in that folder. Then copy the results into the desired destination folder, using UniqueName() to make a non-conflicting name.
