How to load multiple mat files from a folder in a sequence?

Hi all,

I have folder with multiple mat files that I want to sequentially import into the workspace . I have the following script that produces the error claiming the file does not exists in the folder. One example file attached. Could you please help?

%% get participant file names and start loop

all_files = dir(fullfile(Folder, '*.mat'));

for files_i = 1 : length(all_files) 
    % read in data
    
    disp(all_files(files_i).name)
    data = load(fullfile(all_files(files_i).name));  
    
    % execute what I want
end

Error using load
Unable to read file 'XsensData_ID001_T001_mat.mat'. No such file or directory.

S = dir(fullfile(Folder, '*.mat'));
for k = 1:numel(S) 
    F = fullfile(Folder,S(k).name); % you need FOLDER here too.
    data = load(F);  
    % execute what I want
end
