Ideally you are supposed to try a few steps before coming here asking for a solution. Since this is your first post, I'll give you a few pointers. Next time please Google a few solutions. Try them. Post your code/error if you have any issues to receive help.

From the directory, Load all the contents of the folder using,

files = dir('*.dat');

Add a FOR loop to read each dat file one by one.

fileID = fopen('XXXX.dat'); 
OneByte = fread(fileID,'*uint16');

Then once the file is loaded you can convert it into .txt file.
