how to load multiple data sets in matlab if they have slightly different amount of rows and columns in matlab

If you have multiple data sets with slightly different rows and columns, you can load them into MATLAB using the following steps:

  1. Create a cell array to store the data sets.
  2. Use the dir function to get the list of files in the directory.
  3. Iterate over the files and load each data set using the load function.
  4. Store each loaded data set into the cell array.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates this process:

main.m
% Step 1: Create a cell array to store the data sets
dataSets = cell(1, numberOfDataSets);

% Step 2: Get the list of files in the directory
fileList = dir('path/to/your/files/directory');

% Step 3: Iterate over the files and load each data set
for i = 1 : numberOfDataSets
    % Step 4: Load each data set using the load function
    data = load(fullfile(fileList(i).folder, fileList(i).name));
    
    % Step 5: Store each loaded data set into the cell array
    dataSets{i} = data;
end

In this code, numberOfDataSets represents the total number of data sets you have. You may need to modify the path to your files directory to match your file's location.

By the end of this code, you will have all your data sets stored in a cell array called dataSets, where each cell contains the loaded data from each file.

Note that if the data sets have different dimensions, you will have to handle the differences either by padding or by ignoring the excess rows/columns, depending on the specific requirements of your application.
