For Lopp data acquiring

I want to load a data file (.dat) (No texts in the data file, only two data columns present) using load command and scatter(x,y). Now, I have a lot of data files so I need to write a loop script which assigns the variable with the filename.dat and then load it and scatter plot it repeatedly for all the .dat files present the directory.

Can you please help me since I am new to MATLAB.

your_path = 'C:\Users\work\*.dat'; % your folder path
finfo = dir(your_path);
fnames = {finfo.name}';
for iCount = 1:numel(fnames)
    data = dlmread(fnames{iCount});
    figure
    scatter(data(:,1),data(:,2));
    title(fnames{iCount})
end

Thank you Sir/Madam. And is there any way to stop the popping up of plot so that i can simply send command get output??

I used to do this in unix script. I just submit the script the and it gives me all the output figures.

Thank you again.

I don't know how exactly are you calling this Matlab script/function. One idea is to hide the display of figures and save them all in a folder of your choice. Is that what you want to do?
