Try this well commented snippet:

% Get a list of all files in the folder with the desired file name pattern.
myFolder = pwd; % Wherever you want.
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, '*.*'); % Change to whatever pattern you need, for example *.m or whatever...
theFiles = dir(filePattern); % Ask operating system for the directory information.
% Extract only the filename part of the structure into its own variable.
allFileNames = {theFiles.name};
% Optional: Display the list in the command window just to double check what it is:
celldisp(allFileNames);
