I would like to load different files that have more or less the same just a parameter (temperature) is changing.

For example: 

detector_temp = importdata('beginning name file' temp 'K_end name file.dat');

I don't know how to make different "detector" files for all my temperatures. For the moment I just write all the different file names. I have plenty. Thank you in advance

Need more information to provide an exact solution but generally you can use dir to get the filenames you want and then load the data into a cell or some other container.

For example say I have a directory of mat files I want to load.

% from the desired directory
files = dir('*.mat'); % get the files I want to load
fileNames = {files.name}'; % extract just the file name
data = cellfun(@load, fileNames, 'UniformOutput', 0); % load all the files into a cell

You can then work on the data that is stored in the cell. Each file is stored in a separate cell. So file1 = data{1,1};, file3 = data{3,1} and so on.
