How to change .txt format automatically into .m format

% Define the directory containing the .txt files
directory = 'path/to/your/files/';
% List all .txt files in the directory
txtFiles = dir(fullfile(directory, '*.txt'));
% Loop through each .txt file
for i = 1:numel(txtFiles)
    % Get the file name and extension
    [~, filename, ext] = fileparts(txtFiles(i).name);
    
    % Generate the new file name with .m extension
    newFilename = [filename '.m'];
    
    % Rename the file
    movefile(fullfile(directory, txtFiles(i).name), fullfile(directory, newFilename));
    
    % Display confirmation message
    disp(['Converted ' txtFiles(i).name ' to ' newFilename]);
end

It will search the folder for text files and will change the format to M-file...

The MacOS and Linux equivalent

!mv *.txt *.m

would try to expand all (existing) files ending in .txt and all files ending in .m, as-if they had been typed into the command -- for example as-if it had been entered

!mv file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt rename_my_files.m rename_helper.m

the last of the .m files would then be interpreted as the target file to move everything else to... so first file1.txt would be moved to rename_helper.m then file2.txt would be moved to rename_helper.m and so on, until finally rename_my_files.m would be renamed to rename_helper.m -- leaving you with just rename_helper.m with content the old rename_my_files.m

Unfortunately, the unix way of doing this rename is notably more messy.

Thank you for this explanation. To be honest, the time I used unix is more than 30 years ago. I only remembered that "ren" is not a c-shell command. Hopefully is annoyed by my comment.
