How to execute all the matlab file under a directory?

zhengquan — Sat, 10 May 2008 02:13:59 -0400

Hello,

I have a directory with lots of subdirectories, in the
subdirectories, there are the same scripts to anylyse data
stored in them. Now I want to traverse the entire directory
and get the matlab scripts executed in all the
subdirectories. I am running a linux system. Can anyone tell
me how to do that? Thanks!

Regards,
Zhengquan

In order to locate all the files with a given sufix, in
linux you can issue the following command in the top directory:

find . -name "*.m" -print
If you want to do this from within matlab, you can resort to
the unix command:
unix('find . -name "*.m" -print')
but I cannot assure how you get the output, etc.

Its far easier to do in matlab. dir will do what
the OP wants. However, if you want to look
recursively through the deeper directories,
then you will want to use a tool that supports
such a search. There are many of them on the
file exchange. Just pick one out.
