Hi, by 'how can I save each of them?!' do you mean saving the contents of the files in one variable? What are the contents of the files?

Yes,they are series of numbers about 38×360000, but the column in each file are varied. When i load my for loop , it reads each of them but at the end i can see just the last matrix, that means other doesn't save in workspaces

If you want to store elements (like strings) that are not the same size you can use cells.
A = {'abc', 'defg', 'hijklmnop', 123, [4,5,6,7,8], false}
A =
'abc' 'defg' 'hijklmnop' [123] [1x5 double] [0]
So if you want to go through a bunch of files and put their content in a cell you can do it this way (pseudo code)
my_list_of_files= {'file1','file2', 'file3'}
my_array = {};
for i=1:length(my_list_of_files)
my_array{i} = read(my_list_of_files{i});
end

"I don't know how to insert them in a cell array..."
N = number of files
C = cell(1,N);
for k = 1:N
... import your data
YourData = ... whatever
C{k} = YourData; % store your data in a cell array
end
"...plus my column data size aren't same as each other.during reading each file"
Is irrelevant if you are using a cell array.
