Hi there,

What's the best way to move many files, given that we have a
cell array of all the filenames to move.

It seems that the matlab movefile command can only take in
one file at a time (wildcards can be used... but that isn't
helpful in this instance).
>> movefile(cell_arr_of_filenames, 'destination'); % Error

When I wrap 'movefile' in a loop over my file list, things
get very slow, and I'm sure there's a more efficient way to
do this.

Any suggestions? Perhaps I need to resort to a system('...')
call?

Thanks for any input,
Sven.
