Read mat files from a custom function

Hello,

Please help me with the following:

I need to create a function (m.file) that reads automatically mat files with different names.

For example,

Consider these mat files:

Day1_hour1.mat

Day1_hour2.mat

.

.

.

Day2_hour1.mat

Day2_hour2.mat

etc.

The function that I need should be like this:

function data=LoadData(n,m)

 data=load('Dayn_hourm');

end

So for example, if I want to load

Day10_hour23

I would call

LoadData(10,23)

Thank you.

Best,

Pavlos

What do the mat-files contain? An identical set of variables?

Try this

file_list = reshape( dir('Day*.mat'), 1,[] );
for saf = file_list
   dh = sscanf( saf.name, 'Day%d_hour%d' );
   data = load( saf.name );
   LoadData{ dh(1), dh(2) } = data;
end

where the mat-files are in the current directory and are the only mat-files with names starting with the three letters "Day"
