MATLAB: Loading multiple mat files using for loop

loading

Hello,
I would like to load multiple mat files in a particular folder. Right now i have 8 matfiles so i have written the code as below.
for k=1:8
S = load(sprintf('M%d.mat',k));
I donot to limit the number of files in code. Is there a way to find the matfiles in a folder and load all the mat files present in the folder.

You can use dir() command to iterate over all the .mat files. For example
files = dir('*.mat');
for i = 1:numel(files)
S = load(files(i).name)
end
