how can I loop inside a folder that has several files and put each inside a cell column.I tried the code below it retrieves the first file and places it inside several cell columns.how could I modify it so that it does it for each file instead?thanks

for k=1:numfiles

    mydata{k}=File_path(k).name;   
    gendat=mydata{k}; 
    gen=strcat(file_path,gendat);
    fid=fopen(gen);
    mydat{k}=textscan(fid,'%s','delimiter','\n');
    mydat{k}=mydat{1,1}; 

    final_data{k}=mydat{1,k}{1,1};
    temp=final_data{k};

    flag_1=temp{1};
    Indx1=strfind(flag_1,'No');

    if (~isempty(Indx1))

    continue;

    else

     myfinal_data{k}=temp; 
    end
 fclose(fid);
end

I can’t run your code, so I can’t be certain, but it seems to me that one possible solution is to eliminate this line:

mydat{k}=mydat{1,1};

It seems that would overwrite every subsequent file read by assigning the first cell to all of them.
