I don't understand your question. You seem to already have a working solution.

filenames = {'path/1/fil1', ... }
numfiles= length(filenames);

mydata=cell(1,numfiles);

for i=1:numfiles

      mydata{i}=load( filename{numfiles} );

end

If you want to access filenames dynamically you can use the dir() command.

q = dir('./')
filenames = {q.name}

You don't have a choice except for specifying the files to look for with load. Its a simple task to do.

yes it is a working solution however, if it involves like 100 or more files i have to specify each folders and files manually. it is very troublesome. By the way I am new to matlab so can you please incorporate example code with the directory given.

i dont understand the

filenames = {'path/1/fill', ...}

and

q = dir('./') filenames = {q.name}

thanks for the quick reply.
