File Exchange Pick of the Week

Files Under Folders (FUF)

Bob's pick this week is Files Under Folders (FUF) by Francesco di Pierro.

Have you ever misplaced a file? Suppose you know the extension (type) but forgot what you called it or where you saved it. Or maybe you have different versions in separate folders. In addition to MATLAB's nice Find Files capability, FUF offers another option. For example, here are all the MAT-files currently under my MATLAB work directory.

What I like about FUF is how the input can be a list of folders. Your list could include a mismash of completely different Windows drive letters and/or network file folders.

FUF is far from new on the File Exchange. It was submitted over six years ago. It currently has ten reviews with an average rating of 4.7 and nearly three thousand downloads. It also inspired submission lictool by Gaetan Koers.

How do you manage files in your MATLAB projects. Tell us about it here.

    I use agent ransack (windows). It is fabulous on finding everything anywhere, inside anything and let us dedicate our Matlab time to code more useful things.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
