Hi Philipp
To extend on the proposal by Denis, for Windows there is the DOS
commands, like:
DIR /S /B path\*.txt > result.lst
It will traverse all subdirectories and with the pipe generate a text
file with the result (replace 'path' with your real-name parent folder
path). The result.lst contains a list of all files (one per line) with
their complete file-path-names.
Best regards,
Claus

Yes , this is what I see when using "listfiles"
What I am searching for would be:
- choose a directory
- choose a file extension
--> create a list of all files with that extension in :
-> the directory
-> in all sub-directories
I do doubt that there is a ready-to-use-function for that, so my
question is: How to do it the most elegant way?
I do not have a full aproach for this, yet.
However I feel, that the first thing to do is, to get absolut
pathnames to all folders,
Afterwards I would scan each folder for the specifi file type.
Mh...still thinking.

Hi Philipp
This piece of code used to work (haven't checked with Scilab
6.1.1). First I ask the user to select one file in the directory,
then I create a list of all files in that directory and read all
of them:
[units,typs,nams]=file(); // nams(1) = script file name incl. path
fpathname=strsplit(nams(1), [filesep()]);
scriptpath = get_absolute_file_path(fpathname($));
printf("Please select a .txt measurement file\n");
[filetoread pathtofile] = uigetfile("*.txt",scriptpath,"Choose measurement
file");
// For a start, assume script file is in the same directory as the
data,
// but don't be sure, read pathtofile and use it instead.
readfile = pathtofile + "\" + filetoread;
if length(filetoread)>4 then // one char + .txt expected, i.e. length>4
// If user doesn't select any file, the above check prevents a crash
chdir(pathtofile);
if verbose then printf("MSG: File found, thanks!\n"); end
...
// Analyze - find all files in the path, who's filename is an
// integer, which means - we expect it to be an angle.
filelist=listfiles(pathtofile + "\*.txt");
...
imax=max(size(filelist));
...
printf("Loop %i times: ",imax);
for i=1:imax do
printf("%i ",i) // Show progress
[path fname extension] = fileparts(filelist(i));
if isnum(fname) then // check if fname (a string) contains
d=evstr(fname); // a number, and convert to number
I hope this is inspiring.
Cheers,
Claus

Dear All,
I need to find and list all files of a specific type on my hard
drive....How to do that in the most elegant way?
E.g.:
- find all *.txt files in "D:\"
- also find all '*.txt' files in each sub - directory,
sub-sub-directory, ..etc
- create a list that stores the absolute path names to the *.txt
files.
I am aware of
- dir
- findfiles
- listfiles
- ls
But they only seem to list the files in a dedicated folder.
Is there a function, that also searches all sub-folders
automatically?
Thank you,
Philipp
