how to get the specific model name/ extention(.mdl) from a folder which has count less depths?

i would like to extract the *.sldd and *.h files from the folder which has multiple levels. example: folder X has X1,X2folders, X1 has Y1, Y2 and Y3 folders and Y2 has Z1,Z2 folders. Z2 folder contains some test.h file and Z1 contains some data.sldd

is there API to sort out the required file names based on extention?

Hi Sudhakar,

In MATLAB R2016b you can use the "dir" function as follows:

>> list = [dir('**/*.sldd'); dir('**/*.h')]

The variable "list" will then contain a vector of structures which correspond to the files with the extensions .SLDD and .H.

For more information about the "dir" function see: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/dir.html

Thanks for answer. currently i'm using R2014a. for sorting out the *.sldd files i made a script.

function [ FList_sldd ] = ReadDDNames(DataFolder) DirContents=dir(DataFolder); FList_sldd=[];

if(strcmpi(computer,'PCWIN') strcmpi(computer,'PCWIN64')) NameSeperator='\'; elseif(strcmpi(computer,'GLNX86') strcmpi(computer,'GLNXA86')) NameSeperator='/'; end

extList={'.sldd'}; for i=1:numel(DirContents) if(~(strcmpi(DirContents(i).name,'.') strcmpi(DirContents(i).name,'..'))) if(~DirContents(i).isdir) extension=DirContents(i).name(end-4:end); if(numel(find(strcmpi(extension,extList)))~=0) FList_sldd=cat(1,FList_sldd,{[DataFolder,NameSeperator,DirContents(i).name]}); end else getlist=ReadDDNames([DataFolder,NameSeperator,DirContents(i).name]); FList_sldd=cat(1,FList_sldd,getlist); end end end

end
