loading all files from a user specified folder into a gui

Hi,

Is there a way for a GUI to allow a user to select a folder of text files on their own computer and have the GUI work on all the txt files within that folder?

Best regards

Steve

x = uigetfile({'*.txt'});
fid  = fopen(x);

See uigetdir()

Combined with something like:

info = dir( folder );
filenames = { info.name };
[~,~,ext] = cellfun( @fileparts, filenames , 'UniformOutput', false )
txtIdx = strcmp( ext, { '.txt' } )
filenames = filenames( txtIdx )

to give you all the filenames of the desired type from the directory.
