How to open files with different names in a loop?

Hello everyone!

I have looked up a solution for my problem on the internet, but since I am still so new to matlab I have problems to find a solution that really works for my problem... your help would therefore be greatly appreciated!

I want to create a loop that loads different files with similar names in each loop iteration. The names of my data are for example: data_ID_200.m and data_ID_304.m. After loading I want to use the data in a program I have already written. How can I write a code for this loop??

Do I have to put all the files that are supposed to be uploaded in a separate directory? Or do they go into the same directory where my main code is saved?

Thans a lot!!

thank you! do you know whether there is a possibility - after loading the datasets and running my program for each dataset - to save the created data to files that have the same IDs as the original files (ID_200 and ID_304)? the names list that I created with your help now contains the names data_ID_200.m and data_ID_304.m ...
