how can I make changes on files in a folder?

I have a folder with for example 20 files in .fig format and diffrent names. I want to do some changes to every file. How can I let matlab check every file, and then when it's format is .fig ,make the changes and then go to the next file?

thanks

Use dir on the folder for and appropriate wild card ('*.fig', maybe?) to get the list of files in the returned directory structure, then loop over it.

There are examples at the FAQ
