how to load multiple csv files as tables in matlab given they have the same variables and formatting in matlab

You can use the readtable function in MATLAB to read each CSV file individually and then combine them into a single table. Here's an example of how you can accomplish this:

main.m
% Define the folder where the CSV files are located
folder = 'path/to/csv/files';

% Get a list of all CSV files in the folder
fileList = dir(fullfile(folder, '*.csv'));

% Initialize an empty table to store the combined data
combinedData = table();

% Loop through each CSV file
for i = 1:length(fileList)
    % Read the current CSV file
    fileData = readtable(fullfile(folder, fileList(i).name));
    
    % Append the data from the current file to the combined table
    combinedData = [combinedData; fileData];
end

% Display the combined table
disp(combinedData);
571 chars
21 lines

In this code, you need to replace 'path/to/csv/files' with the actual path to your folder containing the CSV files.

The dir function is used to get a list of all CSV files in the folder, and then a loop is used to read each file using readtable. The data from each file is then appended to the combinedData table using square bracket concatenation [combinedData; fileData]. Finally, the combined table is displayed using disp.

Make sure that all the CSV files have the same variables and formatting for this code to work correctly.

Note: If your CSV files have a different delimiter or encoding, you can specify these options in the readtable function by using the 'Delimiter' and 'Encoding' name-value pairs.
