Open and process files in subfolders

Hi everyone! i wrote a script to process a lot of files within a folder. Now, this folder is just a subfolder in the Input-folder and i would like to apply the script to all subfolders (all files within each subfolder). i've come so far:made a list of subfolders after selecting the input folder, but don't know how to get through the subfolders and files within them. can someone help? thanks

d=uigetdir('','Select Input-folder'); %select the input-folder that contains the subfolders
cd(d);
list = dir;
list = list([list.isdir]); 
list = list(~ismember({list.name},{'.' '..'}));
l=length(list);
for i=1:l
   ???? %open subfolder and apply script to files within it. 
end

Why not do the same as you did above. Inside the for loop do this:

d=uigetdir('','Select Input-folder'); %select the input-folder that contains the subfolders
cd(d);
list = dir;
list = list([list.isdir]); 
list = list(~ismember({list.name},{'.' '..'}));
l=length(list);

for i=1:l

      oldfolder = cd(list(i).name);

      % Perform your operation on the files, e.g., if you are working with csv files

      files = dir('*.csv');
      numberOfFiles = length(files);
      for k = 1:numberOfFiles
          % You code goes here
      end

      cd(oldfolder); 
end

thanks a lot for your answer. the procedure seem to work. in the loop k=1:numberOfFiles i work with dat-files and i want to open and read each of them. unfortunately, i get an error because the file couldn't be open (i guess missing slash at the end of path-string provided with pwd.)

oldfolder = cd(list(i).name);
path=pwd;
fileID = fopen([path liste(lauf).name], 'r');
startRow=2;
formatSpec='%s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s';
data{gesamtIndex}=textscan(fileID, formatSpec, 'HeaderLines', startRow);
fclose(fileID);

can you help me here as well?

Can you share your code with the error message?

[hdiba]

the code is the one above and the error message:

Error using textscan
Invalid file identifier. Use fopen to generate a valid file identifier.
Error in aufruf (line 32)
data{gesamtIndex}=textscan(fileID, formatSpec, 'HeaderLines', startRow);
