MATLAB: Loading Files of Similar Names into Script

stringsstructures

So I have 7 files labeled the following:
Run1S01_TPIV, Run1S02_TPIV, Run1S03_TPIV,…. all the way up to Run1S07_TPIV.
I have already converted them to matlab files so their file name is ".mat"
Is there a way I can read all these files in doing a loop? Instead of giving them individual names(run1_1 = Run1S01_TPIV.mat, run2_2 = Run1S02_TPIV.mat …).
So far I loaded the path where the files are saved by doing the following:
LoadPath = 'D:\Testing\PackagedFiles\3-12-19';
I am not sure how to construct the loop. Anything would help! Thanks.

Hi there,
Would the code below help? Essentially you can use sprintf function to create a cell array with all the file names that you want. Then you can choose each file name from the cell array either in another loop or in any other way that you want in order to call your files
str = 'Run1S0%d_TPIV.mat' ;         % Generic File Name
n = 7 ;                             % Number of Files
   FileNameC = cell(n, 1) ;         % Preallocate (This line is not really neccessary for this example you can delete it if you wish)
for i = 1:n
   FileNameC(i) = {sprintf(str,i)} ;% All Filenames that you want 
end
