read mat files with specific and dynamic name format and import data

matFiles = dir('s*_results.mat');
for k = 1:length(matFiles)
rawdata = fullfile(matFiles, k);
filename = importdata(rawdata);
end
myVars = {'results', 'prep'};
filedata = load(filename, myVars{:});
I'm trying to read all the files with names such as "s001_results.mat", "s002_results.mat" and so forth until "s150_results.mat" which are mat files with more than the two variables (results and prep) that I need. Essentially, I need to read the results and prep variables in all 150 of these mat files but I keep getting the error that the file cannot be imported using the importdata function. Please help!

The best approach is to use the same structure as DIR returns. This has the benefit that the filenames and filedata are automatically and correctly collated together. For example:
P = 'absolute or relative path to where the files are saved'
S = dir(fullfile(P,'s*_results.mat'));
for k = 1:numel(S)
F = fullfile(P,S(k.name));
T = load(S); % you can optionally specify the variable names here.
S(k).prep = T.prep;
S(k).results = T.results;
end
And that is all! You can trivially access the filenames and filedata, e.g. for the second file:
S(2).name
S(2).prep
S(2).results

matFiles = dir('s*_results.mat');
myVars = {'results', 'prep'};
varsList=char(join(myVars));
for k = 1:length(matFiles)
load(matFiles(i).name, varsList);
end
...
The list of variables to load must be char() vector of names comma-separated or just a single name (which could include wildcards, but that doesn't work here).
See the doc for load for details on syntax.
ADDENDUM:
Your syntax results in a list, not a string and (I think) the comma delimter is requred, anyways...
>> myVars = {'results', 'prep'};
myVars{:}
ans =
'results'
ans =
'prep'
>>
whereas
>> char(join(myVars,','))
ans =
'results,prep'
>>
is the requisite char string list of variables to mimic what would type at command line interactively. I didn't test if load has been update to handle the new string class.

No join!
matFiles = dir('s*_results.mat');
nfiles = length(matFiles);
myVars = {'results', 'prep'};
data_cell = cell(nfiles, 1);
for k = 1:length(matFiles)
data_cell{k} = load(matFiles(i).name, myVars{:});
end
data_struct = cell2mat(data_cell);
result should be a non-scalar struct array with fields results and prep
