See http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/11457#answer_15635:

folder   = cd;
fileList = dir(fullfile(folder, '*.m'));
for iFile = 1:length(fileList)
  aFile = fullfile(folder, fileList(iFile).name);
  h = matlab.desktop.editor.openDocument(aFile);
  h.smartIndentContents
  h.save
  h.close
end

Use fgetl function to read your files and save them in a cell array. Concatenate your variables then save the result in one file.

% or

!copy file1.m+file2.m new_file3.m

I think, the OP means the standard indentation of M-code.

If you want to handle the opening and closing of the file(s) yourself, you can simply do Ctrl-A (to select all the text in the m-file), then type Ctrl-I (to properly indent everything). You can also use Ctrl-I to "fix" just the selected text (instead of everything) if you want.
