Matlab command to open all files in a directory

[biomedgirl]

Is there a Matlab command that allows the user to choose a directory and can then open all the files in that directory automatically? or is there a way to do it using uigetfile?

Something like this should work (although I haven't tried so it might need debugging) or at least give you an idea of how to go about it.

You could get the path of the directory 'my_dir' using uigetfile.

% load all *.mat files in the directory contained in the variable my_dir

mydir = '\matlabfiles\myproject';
files = dir([my_dir '\*.mat']);
for count = 1:length(files)
   load([mydir files(count)]; 
end

% might be "load([mydir files{count}]". 
% I don't have Matlab on this computer to check if you need
% curly braces or round brackets.
