How to append multiple .mat files that have the same variable names in them?

I run my scripts which produce hundreds or thousands of .mat files. Each of this file contains two variables: resultsU and resultsT. I want to append the files but not overwrite the variables. Is this possible without having to manually modify each .mat?

Hi Alex,

yes, that's possible.

• Use dir to read all the files
• Use the functional form of load, i.e.

data = load(filename(i).name);

• concatenate the data

resultsUJoin = [resultsU; data.resultsU];
