How to read data from another directory using dlmread function

I have two folders, A and B. The matlab code/program to be run is in A. I want to run this code and read data which is placed in B. The part of my script is written as:

myf3= '/home/habtamu/Desktop/data/XYZ/ABG,2012/B';
       files3=dir(fullfile(myf3,'*.min'));
    D = dlmread(files3(1).name,' ' ,26,7);

myf3 is the name of the path for folder B.When I run this, the error is generated as

Error using dlmread (line 122)
The file 'abg20120101dmin.min' could not be opened because: No such file or directory

Error in allin (line 53)
D = dlmread(files3(1).name,' ' ,26,7);

allin is the file name of my code. any solution please?

Habtamu - the files3 structure only includes the names of the files and not the path to each one. You would need to read the file as

 D = dlmread(fullfile(myf3,files3(1).name),' ' ,26,7);
