Recursive DIR

DIRREC finds files recursively in a given folder

Description

Find files recursively in a given folder.
 
      C=dirrec('c:\windows') returns a cell C with the full pathname of all
       files in the c:\windows folder and all its sub-folders.
 
      C=dirrec('c:\windows','.exe') idem but returns only the files with
       extension .exe.

      C=dirrec('c:\windows','co*') idem but returns only the files starting with the two letters co (comsetup.log, control.ini, ...).
 
      C=dirrec('c:\windows',{'.exe','.dll') idem but returns files with both
       .exe and .dll extensions.
 
      dirrec('c:\windows','.cmd') only displays the list of the .cmd files in
       the Matlab command window
 
            c:\windows\system32\login.cmd
            c:\windows\system32\usrlogon.cmd
 
      Note that extension should be given in lower case.
 
I was using the DDIR function by Maximilien Chaumon but it was not possible to compile ddir so I write my own function.

Have a look at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=16217&objectType=file for more extensive search patterns not only by extension.
