Imorting data from text file

I have some text files with some numeric data in a folder. i want to import the data of each text file in a variable specified by the name of the file for eg. if i am having 3 files named as amit.txt , ankit.txt , anmol.txt , then i want to store the data of amit.txt in a variable amit , data of ankit.txt in the variable ankit and so on ,

what should i do to for this.

This is not a good idea, you can save all your data in one cell array

filename={'amit.txt','ankit.txt','anmol.txt'}
for k=1:numel(filename)
    data{k}=dlmread(filename{k})
end

% to get file names automatically

folder='E:/Matlab'; % for example
f=dir([folder '/*.txt'])
for k=1:numel(f)
    data{k}=dlmread(f(k).name)
end
