How do I import multiple files from a folder in MATLAB?

I want to open all the files with a certain attribute (e.g. they all have 'History' in their name) and open them, one by one, in MATLAB. I know of the command dir my_name.txt which will list it like I want, but how do I now open the files that it listed?

I need to open them as in fopen The code that I tried was
if true
% code
matfiles = dir(fullfile('E:\MachineLearning\TestFiles\*.txt'));
data = cell(4,100);
for i = 3 : 7
fid = fopen(matfiles(i).name);
data{i} = fscanf(fid,'%c');
end
end
This worked but I need to know how to open only the files with a certain something in their name. For example open all files with '.txt' in the name. That is, open all text files only.

Remember to fclose(fid) after you do the fscanf()
The code you show will already only locate file names ending in .txt .
You should be more careful with directories, though:
testfiledir = 'E:\MachineLearning\TestFiles\';
matfiles = dir(fullfile(testfiledir, '*.txt'));
nfiles = length(matfiles);
data = cell(nfiles);
for i = 1 : nfiles
fid = fopen( fullfile(testfiledir, matfiles(i).name) );
data{i} = fscanf(fid,'%c');
fclose(fid);
end

Ah yes, I could make the computer lose a lot of memory without fclosing! Thank you!

It would probably run out of file descriptors before it ran out of memory.
