How to select one specific file from a folder of same extension

Hi, I have six files under same folder. They are ACC_1.DAT, ACC_2.DAT, ACC_3.DAT and SN_1.DAT,SN_2.DAT,SN_3.DAT.

I want to develop a code where only SN_''.DAT are selected and stored in a location in matlab.

Please let me know, how can I do it?

d=dir('SN*.DAT');  % return list of files beginning w/ 'SN'
for i=1:length(d)
  % do whatever with each file here...

end
