Thread Subject: List file names

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can generate a list of all the files in a folder that have a certain name? For example, I have a folder with the following files:

One Data.txt
Two Data.txt
Three Data2.txt
Four Data.txt

I would like Matlab to output a list of only the Data.txt files:

One Data.txt
Two Data.txt
Four Data.txt

I have tried:

 filelist=dir('C:\Users\')

but it doesn't seem to list all the file names.

Thanks!

You -should- be able to use wildcards, as in

filelist = dir('C:\Users\*Data.txt');

I wonder... if you cd to that directory first and then filelist=dir() do you
get a different list of files? And is it possible that some of the files
might be shortcuts ?
