Thread Subject: importing multiple .dat files

I am trying to write a for loop which will allow me to import multiple .dat files of different sizes all from the same folder.

Thus far I have written the code to import a single file, but when I try making the necessary changes to loop it I get all sorts of errors.

Here is my code so far:
%load the dat file
[FileName, FilePath, FILTERINDEX] =uigetfile('C:\Dominic\PT40491\data\*.dat','Select a Holter file to read');
FileNamePath=strcat(FilePath,'\',FileName);
%load the ECG data
[sample V5 AP]=textread(FileNamePath,'%f%f%f');
ECG=AP;
clear V5 AP

Those all sorts of errors usually contain informative text on what goes wrong.
