concatenating with readtable function

Hello Everyone. Please I'm trying to readtables from a multiple xml files in a loop. Each xml file holds data for a time period.

Using the code below reads each xml file as a table

table1: readtable('filename.xml')

but I want to read all the xml files in the folder at once as a table so I can get to see all data at once. When I try to read random xml files as tables. It seems most have the same amount variables but some differ. I think for me, it's okay if the code can skip these files.

Thank you so much

xmlFiles = dir('*.xml') ;
N = length(xmlFiles) ;
T = cell(N,1) ; 
for i = 1:N
    T{i} = readtable(xmlFiles(i).name) ; 
end
celldisp(T)

Thanks KSSV, it puts all the tables in a cell. That helps a lot!

Quick follow up, how does one concatenate all the simlar tables (similar variable names) in the cell as one table?

If the varable names are same and T1, T2 can be joined:

T12 = [T1; T2] ; 

Also have a look on cat.
