filehound

The M script filehound.m recursively searches directories for files matching a file filter.

The M script filehound.m recursively searches directories for files matching a file filter (e.g. '*.m') and produces a list of type cell array with all pathnames for files that match the filter. It also produces a text file with the same information. This filename is chosen with the uiputfile utility.

The list could be used to examine the contents of each file:

filelist = filehound;
for i=1:length(filelist)
fid = fopen(filelist{i}, 'r')
A = fread(fid.....
......
end

The directory names are filtered for spaces and quote characters to prevent errors in Unix environments.
