how to extract information from subfolders

I was able to produce the following code that is able to get the folders within a specific folder:

files = dir(C:\Users\abcde\Documents\MATLAB);
directoryNames = {files([files.isdir]).name};
directoryNames = directoryNames(~ismember(directoryNames,{'.','..'}))';

however I am trying to get the csv files within each subfolder called "object statistics" from each of the folders I pulled out from the code above. I have the following code:

for i=1:length(directoryNames)
  folder=directoryNames{i};
   filenames=ls([folder '\results\object statistics *.v2*'])
end

It is not doing what I want; trying to loop through each folder's subfolder called object statistics and pull out the csv file. how do I do this?

I've only been able to do it manually by writing loops to go and search in subfolders contained in the main folder and add to a master list of folder and filenames. Which gets messy when subfolders contain subfolders.

Commenting to "bookmark" so if someone has a good answer.

See my attached script (below in blue text) to recurse into subfolders, getting file names. A simple adaptation will get you what you want.
