Hello,
i'm using in a mlapp the function uigetdir to select folders for data storage and log files.
These folders are shown in the GUI, e.g.
C:\svn-work\projects\projectname\matlab\mytoolname\data
Is there an existing script, algorithm or function to short the displayed path, eg.
C:\svn-work\projects\...\data
Just asking before start coding by myself.
Thx

How abou the following?
dirName = 'C:\svn-work\projects\projectname\matlab\mytoolname\data';
c = strsplit(dirName,'\');
dirNameShort = [strjoin(c(1:3),'\'),'\...\',c{end}];
The result is:
>> dirNameShort
dirNameShort =
'C:\svn-work\projects\...\data'
