MATLAB - Get folder content as a string array

I need to get the content of the selected folder as an array of strings in order to run a script for each file in a for loop. The way I am currently doing it I receive the content as a char two dimensional array.

Is there a way to get the contents directly as a string array instead of running each row in a loop and converting it to a String?

 directory = uigetdir;
    list = ls(strcat(directory, '\*.extension'))

    for i = 1: ??

You want to use the dir function:

list = dir(fullfile(directory, '*.extension'));
for ii=1:numel(list)
   fullfile(list(ii).foler, list(ii).name)
end
