saving variables in a single .mat file

Hello,
I have 360 .mat files containing same variable in with different data (row vectors) each of size in(1x3800000) stored in them. They are of size 9.84GB (all 360 files).
Now I want to save them all in 1 .mat file as a matrix out(360x3800000).
How can I do it?

Try this code m=zeros(3800000,360); for k=1:360, eval(sprintf('load F*_%d.mat',k)); % F*=name of all your files .mat% eval(sprintf('y=F*_%d(:,1);',k)); disp(k); clear F* if k==1, m=y; else m=[m,y]; end end
save File m t %save the new file .mat

Dear zozo, accepting an answer means, that it solves your problem.
Daniel and I have warned you that you cannot load a 11GB of data (360*3800000*8 byte per double) efficiently, if you have only 4GB of RAM. I assume you need 32GB RAM to work efficiently with such large data, 64GB is safer.
The above EVAL approach is cruel.
You currently did not specify in which format you want to store the data, DOUBLEs or SINGLEs, an integer type, as cell or matrix. Anyhow, I'm convinced, that it is the wrong approach due to the limited memory.

Do you have a 64-bit Matlab version? How many RAM do you have installed? Do you want to store the values in one 360 x 3'800'000 array, a most likely more useful 3'800'000 x 360 array, of as separate vectors e.g. in a {1 x 360} cell. The later has the advantage, that it does not need a contiguos free block of memory.

4GB RAM is very lean for such a big chunk of data. If it is really necessary to keep all values in the RAM simultaneously, buy more RAM. Implementing workarounds to process the data in pieces will be more expensive.

In a comment to Jan you say you have 4 GB of RAM. Loading 9+ GB of data is going to bring your computer to a screeching halt.
Try and create an array of the required size and see what happens ...
x = randn(360, 38000000);

Why? Nobody wants a 1+GB data file. Leave the files small and load them as needed. I doubt there is much of a benefit of doing a single huge load.
