Saving multiple imported files

Hi

I am trying to import multiple (305) files into Matlab. They are in ascii format with a filetype named .spt. The files are not rectangular, however from row[12],column[0] [12,0] the file becomes rectangular and hence it is this part I wish to import.

I have used the code shown below but I cannot make it save every separate file, it only saves the last file which is not what I require.

files = dir('*.spt');        

for i=1:length(files)
Spt(i)=[eval(['csvread(''' files(i).name ''',12,0)' ])];
end

Please can someone explain how to save the files individually withouth having to go through each file separately.

Thanks in advance

Does this solve:

Spt = cell(length(files),1)
for i=1:length(files)
Spt(i)= {csvread(files(i).name,12,0)};
end

Thank you for your reply. I am attempting to generate 305 variables from the imported values.

Unfortunately when I attempt to run your code I get the following error.

??? Conversion to cell from double is not possible.

Any help appriciated :)

My mistake, forgot {}. Also repreallocated Spt as column cell array.
