I have about 20 files that I need to read and manipualte data. How would I write a while loop so that it will read the file, extract data, then continue to read the next file, etc. ?

Is there a particular reason to use a while loop instead of a for loop?

The standard approach is to use a FOR loop:

fn = dir("*.dat"); % or your file name pattern
for i=1:length(fn)
fn_c = fn(i).name % current filename to be processed
% do processing for fn_c
end
