I use dir for my text files, so for me I would do this:
files = dir('file*.txt'); % Extracting all text files that start with "file", e.g., file1, file2, etc.
x = []; % Use to put entire dataset into one matrix
for q = 1:length(files);
data = importfileB(emoB(q).name, 2, 15361); % importfileB is function I created using the import tab in matlab, you might find it useful for your excel files
eval(['x',num2str(q),'=data;']) % Use this if you want each data set seperately
x_raw = [x, data(:,1)]; % Or you can use this if you'd like your entire data set in one matrix
end
