allTextFiles=dir('*.txt');;
number_of_files=length(allTextFiles);
Name_ofFile_1=allTextFiles(1).name;...

If you do not want name extension (i.e., .txt) you can truncate the "Name_ofFile"

For eg: Name_ofFile=Name_ofFile(1:end-4);%length('.txt') = 4

thanks CW...below code showing only last file name .that too with file extension..any help to store the names for every loop with only file name,not with extension

   path = 'C:\Users\test\';
listing = dir(fullfile(path, '*.txt'));
nof=length(listing);
for i=1:numel(listing)
    nameoffile=listing(i).name;
    end

The variable you have used "nameoffile" can hold only one string. So when the for loop finishes, it will have the last filename only.. Use a cell instead.

     path = 'C:\Users\test\';
  listing = dir(fullfile(path, '*.txt'));
  nof=length(listing);
  for i=1:numel(listing)
      nameoffile{i}=listing(i).name;
      end
