rootdir = '/Users/apple/Desktop/Project/Code/Data/';
l = dir([rootdir,'*_dat.mat']);
for n=1:length(l)
str=l(n).name;
ix = strfind(str,'_');
%id = 'M70_20141020';
%blk = 1;
id=str(1:ix(2)-1);
blk=str2num(str(ix(2)+2:ix(3)-1));
date=str(ix(1)+1:ix(1)+8);
fprintf('%d:%s,blk%d\n',n,id,blk);
mousenum=str(ix(1)-2:ix(1)-1);
nmouse=str2num(mousenum);
end
f=unique(nmouse)
the output is
1:M25_20130506,blk2

f =
93
Only the number after M of the name of the last file the loop goes over is given.
How can I use the unique function to output all the different numbers following M from all the file names?

I doubt that you need a loop. You could use a simple regular expression to get the required digits, e.g.:
D = '/Users/apple/Desktop/Project/Code/Data/';
S = dir(fullfile(D,'*_dat.mat')); % much better to use FULLFILE than concatenation
C = regexp({S.name},'(?<=M)\d+','match','once');
V = unique(str2double(C))

rootdir = '/Users/apple/Desktop/Project/Code/Data/'; % good! Using variable so can change: +1
d=dir(fullfile(rootdir,'*_dat.mat')); % use fullfile() instead string operations
str=split(string({d.name}).',{'_',','}); % break into pieces after make string array
nmouse=str2double(extractAfter(str(:,1),'M')); % convert number
dates=str(:,2); % would done datetime() but for trailing 'b'
blk=str(:,3); % save the last piece
unmouse=unique(nmouse); % get unique numbers
Or, just continue to use the array instead of making new variables that are copies. Can clear the str array now if use the other variables.
As noted, you'll have to decide how to treat the trailing character on the date strings to turn into datetime variables--BTW, there's a builtin date function so didn't use it for variable name to not alias. Finding those longer than the 8 character data and extracting that last character would be start...there's only one 'b' value in this dataset; whether there could be 'c' or higher dunno so didin't make assumptions.
