MATLAB equivalent to ls -l

Hi, what is MATLAB equivalent to ls -l?

[Walter Roberson]

On Mac and Linux, MATLAB passes the parameters to the ls command, so

ls -l

at the MATLAB prompt will show long information.

It depends on what you want from it. What exactly are you looking for?

D = dir

MAY give you much of what you may want, if you return

However, if you really, alsolutely need to see the output of ls -l, then just do

system('ls -l')

So there is no need for an equivalent thereof, just execute the system call itself.

! ls -l

is shorter. But you do not even need to use the ! on Mac.
