MATLAB: How to load txt files from subfolders

load txt filessubfolders

There is error as i am trying to load .txt files from subfolders. How can i load all *.txt files using generated function (imptxt(FileName,startRow,endRow))
if true
Files=dir('**/*AVE*.txt'); % looking for txt files with 'AVE' at the beginning
for k=1:length(Files)      % k=46
 FileNames=Files(k).name
end
ImpFiles=zeros(k,100000);
for i=1:k
    ImpFiles(i,:)=imptxt(Files(i).name,1,1); % loading all files in one array using generated function for import
end
and i have such error:
    if true
Error using textscan
Invalid file identifier. Use fopen to generate a valid file identifier.
     if true
Error in imptxt (line 100034)
dataArray = textscan(fileID, formatSpec, endRow(1)-startRow(1)+1, 'Delimiter', delimiter, 'TextType', 'string', 'EmptyValue', NaN,
  'HeaderLines', startRow(1)-1, 'ReturnOnError', false, 'EndOfLine', '\r\n');
Error in BN (line 17)
ImpFiles(k,:)=imptxt(Files(k).name,1,1);
 % code
end
UPD. I checked and it working but only if i start it inside one of subfolders. Otherwise it shows same error as above

Best Answer

Files = dir('**/AVE*.txt');
for k = 1:length(Files)
   FileName      = fullfile(Files(k).folder, Files(k).name);
   ImpFiles(k,:) = dlmread(FileName);
end
It is smarter to run the code in backward direction:
for k = length(Files):-1:1
Then ImpFiles has the correct size in the first iteration and Matlab does not waste time with the iterative growing of the array.
