Loading single variable matfile into a variable

Loading single variable matfile into a variable

Loading single variable matfile into a variable

(OP)
I am writing an application where the user specifies multiple matfiles.  I need to load those matfiles into some variables. these matfiles only contain a single array 'x'.  I need to load those values into another variable 'y'.  The problem is when I do y = load('x.mat');  I get a structure for y containing a variable x like so y = x[1x400 double] so to access the array I have to do y.x .  I cant have y must be an array not a structure containing an array.  Is there anyway to load the mat file array directly into y?  The mat file names are dynamic and  so I cant just access the value using y.x because 'x' could be 'run' or 'bob'.  Any ideas?

RE: Loading single variable matfile into a variable

load x
y = x;
