How to get 2 variables form loading mat fille

I want to load lots of mat file like (a1_2.mat......a50_40.mat) and take two variables(c,d) from each mat file and then put variables in a matrix like this.[c1 d1; c2 d2.....]

    for n = 1 : 50
    for k=1:40
    y=load(['a',num2str(n),'_', num2str(k) '.mat']);
    c = y.c;% load first variable
    d=y.d; % load second variable and 

    all(:,1)=c;
    all(:,2)=d;

    end
   end

but I can't get the final matrix correctly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    for n = 1 : 50
      for k = 1:40
        y = load(['a',num2str(n),'_', num2str(k) '.mat']);
        c = y.c;% load first variable
        d = y.d; % load second variable and 
        all_vals(n,k,1) = c;
        all_vals(n,k,2) = d;
    end
   end

   all_vals = reshape(all_vals, [], 2);

Assuming that you cannot pre-allocate your matrix, something like this could work:

all_vars = [];
for n = 1 : 50
    for k=1:40
        y=load(['a',num2str(n),'_', num2str(k) '.mat']);
        c = y.c;% load first variable
        d = y.d; % load second variable and
        all_vars = [all_vars; [c d]];
    end
end

I changed the name of your matrix, because all is a function name you could need later in your code. Naming variables the same as built-in MATLAB functions is called ‘overshadowing’. MATLAB will use the variable instead of the function afterwards, making the function useless until you change the variable name.

Thanks Walter for your prompt response.unfortunetly my results had 30 rows of zero number. Thanks Star strider for your explanation.and the result is perfect.

My pleasure.

I am glad I was able to solve your problem!
