Reading in data from files in for loop

Currently I have code that reads in data files (test # 1000.001, test #1000.002 ... test # changes everyday) and takes a set number of data points and puts them in a matrix for further calculations.

%var def%
lopoff = 1034; %initial data point
sample_stopcount = 41000; %last data point
folder = uigetdir('C:\Users\me\Documents', 'Select'); %user select folder where test data collected, folder test # xxxx
[filepath, name] = fileparts(folder)
findNumb = regexp(name, '\d*','match'); %search folder name for number towards end, match it 
cell2char = findNumb{1};% convert cell to char
fileNumber = str2numb(cell2char); %the test number, ie 1000, 1001, 1002...
location = 'C:\Users\me\Documents'; %main fold/dir loc
foldername = sprintf('test # %d', fileNumber);%creates folder name that changes based on test #
subfolder = 'CHANNEL'; %subfolder where data is located

%%%% Important Part-Reading in data files to a Matrix %%%%%
filenameno1 = sprintf('test # %d.001',fileNumber); %con filename using test #
filename1 = fullfile(location,foldername,subfolder,filenameno1); %constructs complete test#.001 filename via its loc
fid = fopen(filename1,'r');%open file to read
data1 = textscan(fid, '%f', sample_stopcount, 'Headerlines', lopoff); %read in data
Mydata = data1{1};
fid = fclose(fid);

filenameno2 = sprintf('test # %d.002', fileNumber);
filename2 = fullfile(location,foldername,subfolder,filenameno2);
fid = fopen(filename2, 'r'); 
data2=textscan(fid, '%f', sample_stopcount, 'Headerlines', lopoff);
Mydata2 =data2{1};
fid=fclose(fid);
% continues on for more data files
data_matr = [time Mydata Mydata2]; %fill up to mydata9

I was wondering if it is possible to arrange this concisely into a for loop of sorts? Can the counter for the loop be in the place of the file extension, eg, my files go .001,.002,.003... can the k=1:9 work in the sprintf so something like sprintf('test # %d' , fileNumber, '.00', numb2str(k))? Everything following should stay the same, I believe, in the for loop. Also how do I save what I read from opening one file into data_matr before closing and overwriting in a loop? Thanks and sorry for long winded question.
