Combining files

I have 10 files each of which has 2 columns. The column 1 is the same in each of the files (pixel#). Column 2 is the data for each pixel. I need to combine the data set to generate a single file that will have column 1 from the first file (or from any of them since it is the same) and column 2 to 10 with the data from each of column 2 from the 10 data files. Any suggestions on doing this will be much appreciated

importdata() or textscan() or dlmread() to read a file, store the data in an array. When all the files have been read in, write out the array in some appropriate format.
