Add all folders/files below a specified point to path.

Hi all,

I'm trying to add all subfolders below a specific folder to the MATLAB path programmatically.

I am currently using the addpath() function, however if I use this I have to specify every subfolder.

Besides manually clicking on the folder in the browser (right-click, Add to Path, Selected Folder and Subfolders), is there a simple way to do this as an extension of addpath() or similar?

Thanks in advance!

Use the following code to add folder and subfolder in the directory 'd:\Work Dir\Math'

mypath='d:\Work Dir\Math';
addpath(genpath(mypath), '-end');

issue path command to verify
