Loading a random file from a directory

Hey all! So I'm looking to write a program which involves randomly loading a .mat file from a directory containing a number of .mat files in a directory (C/toolbox/files). What's the best way to go about selecting a random .mat file from the directory and loading it? Thanks!

matFiles = dir('*.mat') ; 
N = length(matFiles) ; 
thisFile = matFiles(randperm(N,1)).name
