% REad file1 
fid = fopen(file1,'rt') ;  % edited as suggested by Stephen Cobeldick
S1 = textscan(fid,'%s','delimiter','\n') ;
S1 = S1{1} ;
fclose(fid) ;
% Read file2 
fid = fopen(file2,'rt') ;
S2 = textscan(fid,'%s','delimiter','\n') ;
S2 = S2{1} ;
fclose(fid) ;
% Append both the files 
S12 = [S1 ; S2] ;
% Write to file 
fid = fopen('data.txt','wt') ;
fprintf(fid,'%s\n',S12{:});
fclose(fid);

If you are going to use wt for writing then file then you will need to use rt to read the file, otherwise on Windows you will end up with extra carriage return characters.
