Steve Lord already posted pointing you to a source that describes why 
you should not do this, shows you alternatives, and ends by showing how 
to do it the way you think you want.

Excerpting, he wrote:

See Q4.12 in the newsgroup FAQ.

DON'T.  See Q4.6 for the recommended alternatives.

This one I can answer

initialdirectory = pwd();

cd('/filedirectory/');

allfilenames = dir('*.txt');

for b = 1:length(allfilenames)
    
    filename = allfilenames(b).name;
     fid = fopen(filename,'r');
     data1 = textscan(fid,'%n','Delimiter','\t');
     fclose(fid);
end

If you want different variable names for each file look up eval()
