List Recently Modified Files
Usage: lsl
lsl(n), where n = number of files to display.
Default n = 20.
Lists the most recently modified files/dirs (and their accompanying details) in the current directory.
Provides the equivalent of Unix's "ls -lt | head" from within Matlab on Linux or Windows. Yup, this is quite trivial, but I can't use Matlab without this anymore.
This only displays *.m, *.mat, *.fig, *.txt, and directories, other than those in the dirExclude variable, such as .cvs, .svn, etc. Just modify indicated variables to change this behavior.
