That depends on the contents of your txt files. What kind of variable should the file be loaded to? Once you have a script that converts the file to variables, it should be almost trivial to put that in a loop and run that for each file.

You need to load the text files first, by making a loop on the file names and using textscan (or dlmread) in the loop to load each file; then you concatenate the results in one single matrix, and to finish you use the 'save' function which will give you the .mat file you're after

You should read the documentation for the functions mentioned, and/or post an example file and what form you want the variables to be.
