04 Nov 2009 Recursive addpath Recursively adds directories to MATLAB path, optionally ignores some Author: Anthony Kendall

Thanks Jim!

I made that change for compatibility with Macs. Also, based on your first comment back in October I increased the speed of the code by a factor of 3 in a moderate-sized directory tree.

Ashley,
Not sure why FEX didn't have the date2doy. Should have been updated last January 18th, but something must have gone wrong there. I resubmitted the function.
21 Mar 2009 Determine and count unique values of an array Very fast function to determine and count unique values of numeric, logical, char, cell arrays. Author: Anthony Kendall

Bruno,
Thanks for making this point. This can be addressed by specifying the 'float' option in count_unique. However, I've added also added a check that when the maximum value of the input array is much greater than its number of elements, accumarray is not used.

I ran your example on the unmodified code, and got results similar to yours. Now, on the modified code (without specifying the 'float' option, which does not use accumarray), the run times are both trivial in your example. The change increased run times for large array integer values slightly, and the description above is modified to reflect that.

Thanks again.

Excellent function, it's fast, compact, and easily modified for my particular needs. Thank you very much! BTW, I compared it with sun position tables, (http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/sunrise/azel.html) and it does very well.
18 Mar 2009 Determine and count unique values of an array Very fast function to determine and count unique values of numeric, logical, char, cell arrays. Author: Anthony Kendall

John,
The code is primarily used to count the number of each unique instance within an array, but as a side benefit is slightly faster than the existing unique function (and quite a bit faster for integer-valued arrays). I'll modify the description to make this more obvious.

Thanks for your comments.

02 Nov 2009 Recursive addpath Recursively adds directories to MATLAB path, optionally ignores some Author: Anthony Kendall Jim

It seems I can't figure out how to work this comment system. The main point of the last post was that the code doesn't work on a MAC as strStarDir\*. doesn't work, it only returns . and ..
02 Nov 2009 Recursive addpath Recursively adds directories to MATLAB path, optionally ignores some Author: Anthony Kendall Jim

OOPS, that second part should read:
saSubDirs = dir(strStartDir);
saSubDirs = saSubDirs([saSubDirs.isdir]);

12 Oct 2009 Recursive addpath Recursively adds directories to MATLAB path, optionally ignores some Author: Anthony Kendall Jim

Just to clarify on that last point, keeping a cell array of all directories to process, then using addpath(pathsOut{:},strXorIntAddpathMode) (where pathsOut is a cell array of all paths to add) works well
