WHICHX file search within MATLAB search path using wildcards

The output in command window is linked, so that is possible to start M-Files, open MDL-, FIG-files and other types in editor or GUIDE directly. Please look on the screenshot.

EXAMPLES:
---
WHICHX *.m lists all the M-files in the matlab search paths.

D = WHICHX('*.m') returns the results in an M-by-1
structure with the fields:
name -- filename
date -- modification date
bytes -- number of bytes allocated to the file
isdir -- 1 if name is a directory and 0 if not%
path -- directory
