How to load files identified by the matlab function of "dir"?

I have many files in a folder named "mat_files". What I want to do is to load the files and get their values. Below is my code:
a = dir('mat_files');
for i = 3:length(a);
filename = a(i).name;
load strcat('mat_files/', filename);
end;
This is the error:
Error using load
Unable to read file 'filename': no such file or directory.
When I type a(3).name in the command window, I get the correct filename of "ex0219.mat". Of course, I can load the data by typing "load ex0219.mat". Clearly load a(3).name does not work. I also tried load (a(3).name), which does not work either.

Thank you so much for the tip. I missed the path of the files when using load. But why
load strcat('mat_files/', filename) ;
does not work either?

See the second code example in the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_process_a_sequence_of_files.3F
A smiple modification gives you the answer:
myFolder = 'C:\users\leon\documents'; % or whatever.
if ~isdir(myFolder)
errorMessage = sprintf('Error: The following folder does not exist:\n%s', myFolder);
uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
return;
end
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, '*.mat');
matFiles = dir(filePattern);
for k = 1:length(matFiles)
baseFileName = matFiles(k).name;
fullFileName = fullfile(myFolder, baseFileName);
fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', fullFileName);
storedStructure = load(fullFileName);
% Now do whatever you need to do with the structure you recalled.
end

Thank you for the code. Glad to learn the use of "fullfile". It works flawlessly!

you should read files like this:
directoryString = 'YourDirectory';
files = dir(strcat(directoryString,'*.mat'));
names = {files.name}
I hope it helps. Good luck!

>> filename{1}
ans =
ex0209a.mat
After I replace filename with filename{1}, it is working now. Thank you so much!
