Please add both files to a .zip archive, and then upload the .zip file here using the paperclip button.

@Voss has the right suggestion; I'd add to include the code that you tried and whatever error message you received.

I suspect that you will need readtable.

Perhaps something like

T1 = readtable('FirstFileNameGoesHere.dat', 'FileType', 'text');
T2 = readtable('SecondFileNameGoesHere.dat', 'FileType', 'text');

Combined = unique([T1; T2], 'rows');

"but i want to combine 2 files in one file .dat the Problem it's the Two files has different size"

You already told us that, but didn't follow up on either request for further information by showing us what you tried with the error messages you got nor attach the data files (a short section of each would be all that need; whether they're several thousand in length of several tens will not make any difference) so that somebody here could actually do something.

One fairly likely mistake is that you tried something like

A=readmatrix('ThingOne.Dat');
B=readmatrix('ThingTwo.Dat');
C=[A B];

which won't work because you tried to add 6K rows to 4K rows horizontally.

C=[A;B];

would work to give a 10000x2 array.

Presuming the files are valid delimited files that readmatrix can read and that the intent is to combine them into one long file, note that you don't need to create the two temporaries even

E=[readmatrix('ThingOne.Dat'); readmatrix('ThingTwo.Dat')]; % read each and catenate vertically

@Walter Roberson took a reasonable guess; readmatrix might also work
