files=dir('input*.csv');
output='out.csv';
fidout=fopen(output,'w');
for cnt=files'
fidin=fopen(cnt.name);
fwrite(fidout,fread(fidin));
fprintf(fidout,'\n');
fclose(fidin);
end
fclose(fidout);

Actually, in my opinion it's the better solution to merge everything in a new file. However, if you want to merge everything in the first file, you can do that by
files=dir('input*.csv')';
fidout=fopen(files(1).name,'a');
for cnt=files(2:end)
fidin=fopen(cnt.name);
fwrite(fidout,fread(fidin));
fclose(fidin);
end
fclose(fidout);
