HELP PLEASE: Using a loop to read all files in a folder using xlsread

Hello,

I have a set of files in a folder. The file names are listed as: MyFile-1, MyFile-2,... I have a code to get the data and modify it from one file. When I want to move on to the next file, I have to enter the new file name in the code. Is there a way to get the data creating a loop so that I don't have to change the file name every single time? I would like to be able to push Run and finish the folder. I use xlsread to get the data:

T=xlsread('C:\MyFolder\MyFile-1.csv','A1:A500')

I would appreciate any help.

If you use the command

fileInfo = dir

then the fileInfo is a structure with information about the files in the directory. You could parse that to find the csv files.
