GOTO: Go to a directory containing a file

Jump to the directory containing a specified file.

Description

GOTO filename changes MATLAB current directory to the one containing filename. filename must be on the MATLAB path. goto uses the first instance of filename that it finds (a la WHICH).

This is not rocket science, but it sure is convenient!

This is great when you can't remember where you saved a file.
