Saving mutiple files as structs

Hi, I am using the 'uipickfiles' function to select multiple .txt files and want to get data from those multiple files but its saved as a cell. Is there a way I can save them as an array? I want the same structs that come with 'dir', however, 'cell2struct' is not giving me those values. Is there psuedocode someone can show me? Thanks!

Asuming you get the files in cell array called "files", you can run the following loop to build the struct array "s_files" you want:

s_files = dir(files{1});
for i=2:length(files)
    s_files = [s_files; dir(files{i})];
end
