Upload files with almost the same name in different components of a matrix

Dear all

Let's imagine that I have multiple files in my current folder, which are as follows: spins-00000000.data, spins-00000001.data, spins-00000002.data, ..., spins-00000132.data. It is important to note that, although the number is added one by one, there are always eight digits. How could I make something like that happen without having to load the files one by one?

spin(:,:,1)=load('D:\Magnetic-Distribution\spins-00000000.data');
spin(:,:,2)=load('D:\Magnetic-Distribution\spins-00000001.data');
...
    

How could I do this efficiently?

for k=1:1e4
    s=sprintf('%08d.txt',k);
    spin(:,:,k)=load(['D:\Magnetic-Distribution\spins-',s]);
end
