mex folder with all elements

Hi everyone, and sorry for my English. I am trying to mex some files and my problem is that I have different file in diferent folders. I wanto to know if it is possible to say to the mex command where are all the files, but generally. for example I have five different folders which all they are subfolders of other one.

/my documents/home/home.cpp /my documents/job/job.cpp /my documents/garden/garden.cpp

is possible to say that all elements are in /my documents/??? the same question for the includes.

Thanks to all

There are a lot of submissions for recursive directory searching in the FileExchange. See:

Hi,

not really. You can add all files of one folder by

/my documents/*.cpp

but that doesn't include sub folders. You could write a script using "dir" to recursively go into each folder and add all .cpp files, something like (not tested!):

function list = dirForCpp(list, folder)
% add all .cpp from this folder
files = dir(fullfile(folder, '*.cpp'));
for i=1:length(files)
  list{end+1} = fullfile(folder, files(i).name);
end
% now add recursively from sub folders
files = dir(folder);
for i=1:length(files)
  if files(i).isdir && ~strncmp(files(i).name, '.')
      list = dirForCpp(list, fullfile(folder, files(i).name));
  end
end

You call this as

list = dirForCpp({}, '/my documents');
