folderFiles.m

Reads filename contents of a folder.

You are now following this Submission

[outFiles]=folderFiles(inFolder,fileNames)
Reads a group of (fileNames) from a folder specified by (inFolder), and generates the output in the form of a char array.
fileNames is the criteria that specifies the files, e.g., *.jpg. If fileNames is left as a blank (default) this function reads all contents, but this is not preferred since some folders containing images will also have system files such as (Thumbs.db) or (folder.ini) beside subfolders.
