how to load multiple asc files from a directory

So i know that i should import my files using

    A=readtable('file1.asc','Filetype','text');

however i want to be able to import all of the files trough a loop because there are more than 300, and they all have some random names. Can anyone help me with reading the files in the folder and then creating a loop that could later load all of my asc files?

thank you

I would look into using a datastore. Here's a video demonstrating how to read multiple csv files using an import function with datastore from our Data Processing and Feature Engineering course.

actually this didn't work for me since it is a large amount of data. I would like to use a loop that saves each asc file as separate table

In that case, consider looking into how to analyze big data in MATLAB.

To use a for loop, see this post.
