MATLAB: Merging contents of multiple MAT files

To read the files in the correct order download my FEX submission natsortfiles:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47434-natural-order-filename-sort

Then all you need is this (the input and output files are attached):

D = 'path to the folder where the files are saved'
D = '.';
S = dir(fullfile(D,'TestLog_*.mat'));
S = natsortfiles(S); % alphanumeric sort by filename
for k = 1:numel(S)
    T = load(fullfile(D,S(k).name));
    S(k).data = struct2cell(T);
end
M = vertcat(S.data);
save('TestLog.mat','M')

This will work for any number of .mat files, with a few conditions:

each .mat file contains only one variable.
the output file is in a different folder or does not match the dir filename string (otherwise you could end up accumulating the same data repeatedly).

MATLAB: Load a file by using a string in which the filename is stored

Hi Rudy -

'filename(1)' is a 1x1 cell in your case. In order to access the content of the cell, you would use curly brackets.

      >> load(filename{1})
