Read txt files from the folder one by one in for loop?

13 views (last 30 days)
Hello everyone.
I need help in reading txt files from folder. I have got about 60000 files and I need to read them one by one and check some parameters . I prefer not to load the whole folder but only check one file then close it with all the information but save other variables.
Do you have an idea how to do it?

this will definitely help you
list = dir('*.txt'); % reading all the images one by one .
for i = 1:length(list)
img{i} = imread(list(i).name);

You can take a look at dir command
doc dir
For example,
d = dir(pwd)
returns a structure d, holding information of all files in the current folder. You can then pick out txt file via type and then loop through each file name.
