Hello,

I am trying to automate the importing of data files for analysis. Essentially, I want to allow the user to choose a directory, and then have all of the data files from that directory be imported.

For example:
/dir1
file1
file2
file3

(choose 'dir1' and have Matlab begin importing 'file1')

I'm just not too familiar with the syntax of choosing directories and paths. And since I don't know the terminology for this case, I'm not sure if there is a Help page already dedicated to it. I think if I get the basics, I can loop it up just fine.

Any pointers or links would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

a hint:

help dir;
% then, look at
