Using dir with multiple wildcards for directories

15 views (last 30 days)
I'd like to be able to use dir to list all files in the grandchildren directories of my cwd, as in
dir('*/*')
As far as I can tell, this is impossible, is there a recommended workaround for this?
Thanks, Leo

Leo - look in the File Exchange for a recursive directory listing submission. One such example is rdir.

Thanks Geoff. rdir is exactly what I was looking for. For the benefit of others, typing
rdir('*/*')
gives more information than perhaps one would like, but, like dir,
D = rdir(*/*)
returns a struct so you can then extract just names, or modification dates.
