Question

I need to list the subfolders inside a folder using Matlab. If I use

nameFolds = dir(pathFolder), 

I get . and ..

Answer 1

And to effectively reuse the first solution provided in different scenario's I made a function out of it:

function [ dirList ] = get_directory_names( dir_name )

    %get_directory_names; this function outputs a cell with directory names (as
    %strings), given a certain dir name (string)

    dd = dir(dir_name);
    isub = [dd(:).isdir]; %# returns logical vector
    dirList = {dd(isub).name}';
    dirList(ismember(dirList,{'.','..'})) = [];

end
