Thread Subject: uigetfile - filter for no extension files?

Quick question:
Can I use uigetfile with a filter to look for "clean" files, i.e. files with no dot something extension?
Thanks,

I would think that if you had *.* as the filter, it would show everything, even files that had no extension. Did you give that a quick try?

That's true, but I don't want to show everything, I want to show *only* files that have no extension.

Naor Movshovitz:
In that case, I think you'd need to get all files, use fileparts() to
identify those with null extension, and load only those files with no
extension into a listbox of a new UI. Then your user can pick the
file off of that listbox.
Good luck,

quick and dirty way
>> [filename, pathname] = uigetfile( '*.*', 'Select a file' );
