Matlab file name concatenation

%% File Names reading and label generation 

dataFolder= 'allcontent';
fileNames = dir([dataFolder 'c*.*']);

lbl = sscanf(cat(1,'fileNames.name'),'co2%c%d.rd.%d');
status = lbl(1:3:end);
id = lbl(2:3:end);
ids = unique(id);
trial = lbl(3:3:end);

I want to concatenate the names of all the files in the folder titled all content , at the moment, matlab doesn't understand what allcontent is. Can someone help me get the contents of the folder ' all content' which are of the form 'c*.*' and then concatenate them?

You can use fullfile to concatenate paths in Matlab, i.e.

fileNames = dir(fullfile(dataFolder, 'c*.*'));

Also, I don't think fileNames.name should be in quotes. As @Wolfie mentioned, you can concatenate the filenames into a cell array using {fileNames.name}

filenames_array = {fileNames.name}

Then you can iterate over filenames_array using for or cellfun
