  clc
  [fileName,filePath] = uigetfile({'*.csv';'*.txt'},'Pick a file','MultiSelect','on'); %filePath is were the folder address is stored
  if isnumeric(fileName);                             %fileName is were the file address stored
      disp('Please pick multiple file');
      return; 
  end
  pathToFile = fullfile(filePath,fileName);           % getting file name and folder name
  x= size(pathToFile,2);                              % size of the pathToFile

for i=1:x

if ext{i} == '.csv'
[val,idx] = max(store.data(:,strain_column_csv));          % finding the max value

Best Answer

[pathstr, name, ext{i}] = fileparts(pathToFile{i});         %had to add this line to get the file extension
if strcmp(ext{i}, 'txt')
   store = importdata(pathToFile{i}, ',', 1);              %I am guessing about the delimiter
else
   store = importdata(pathToFile{i});
end
