is there a possibility to load in a loop the files in a directory that start with a certain word. For example, 300 files start with the word portfolio but each has a different number such as portfolio4511,portfolio3256 etc...
is it possible to load them one by one in a loop?
thx

Here is one quick way to do so with a script for files in the current directory:

selectfiles = dir ('portfolio*.mat');
for n = 1:length(selectfiles)
load (selectfiles(n).name)
'Do something here...'
end;

I'm sure more elegant ways will be suggested.
