read files in yyyymmddhhmm format

Hi,

I have a bunch of files named in yyyymmddhhmm format. For example: 201111010000.txt 201111010300.txt 201111011000.txt 201111011300.txt ... and so on. I want to loop through each file to get the data. Could someone help?

Thanks

Luckily you used the best date format in the world: one of the main benefits of using ISO 8601 is that the dates automatically sort into chronological order. This makes code much simpler and more efficient.

files = dir('*.txt') ;  % you are in the folder of text files 
N = length(files) ;  % total number of files 
for i = 1:N % loop for each file 
    thisfile = files(i).name ;
    %%load the data 
   % Store if you want or calculate 
end
