Uses the splitstring command to get the contents of a directory in a cell (ie. string) array. Then loop through the array looking for all FDTD project files (.fsp).
files = splitstring(dir,endl); # directory contents in a cell(string) array
for(i=1:length(files)) { # loop over all files
if (findstring(files{i},"fsp") != -1) { # look for 'fsp' files
if (fileexists(files{i})) { # check if the file exists
?files{i}; # output file name
load(files{i}); # load file
}
}
}
