How to input image in array?

Hi, I am using this part of code to input multiple images.

myFolder = 'Folderlocation';
% Check to make sure that folder actually exists.  Warn user if it doesn't.
if ~isfolder(myFolder)
    errorMessage = sprintf('Error: The following folder does not exist:\n%s\nPlease specify a new folder.', myFolder);
    uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
    myFolder = uigetdir(); % Ask for a new one.
    if myFolder == 0
         % User clicked Cancel
         return;
    end
end
% Get a list of all files in the folder with the desired file name pattern.
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, '*.bmp'); % Change to whatever pattern you need.
theFiles = dir(filePattern);
for k = 1 : length(theFiles)
    baseFileName = theFiles(k).name;
    
    fullFileName = fullfile(theFiles(k).folder, baseFileName);
    fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', fullFileName);
    % Now do whatever you want with this file name,
    % such as reading it in as an image array with imread()
    imageArray = imread(fullFileName);

Now, I want to store these images in an array, something like image(k). But any effort to it shows error. How do I do it?

Thanks @Stephen Cobeldick. It helps!

The simplest solution is to just store the image data in the same structure that DIR returns:

S = dir(fullfile(myFolder,'*.bmp'));
for k = 1:numel(S)
    F = fullfile(S(k).folder,S(k).name);
    fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', F); % optional
    S(k).data = imread(F);
end

For example, the second file:

S(2).name % filename
S(2).data % image data

You can use cell array so that each cell stores an image (of different size).

im{k} = imageArray;
