thanks CW...below code showing only last file name .that too with file extension..any help to store the names for every loop with only file name,not with extension
path = 'C:\Users\test\';
listing = dir(fullfile(path, '*.txt'));
nof=length(listing);
for i=1:numel(listing)
nameoffile=listing(i).name;
end

The variable you have used "nameoffile" can hold only one string. So when the for loop finishes, it will have the last filename only.. Use a cell instead.
path = 'C:\Users\test\';
listing = dir(fullfile(path, '*.txt'));
nof=length(listing);
for i=1:numel(listing)
nameoffile{i}=listing(i).name;
end
