ok, so you have a list of filenames. Are these m-file scripts? data files you want to load and process in some way? .mat files that will bring in a bunch of variables when loaded? ...?

your filenames are strings, so there are a bunch of ways you could use a for loop appending that filename string to some other command like load, fopen, dlmread, etc.  See:

https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/v4.2.1/Simple-File-I_002fO.html

You can do a similar thing for file output once you have done whatever needs to be done. In you're loop you'll want to save data, where the save-as filename will somehow reflect the unique aspect of what was done, be it just appending the input filename, or something.

More specifics might produce more specific advice :)
