Hi,

I want to copy txt-files only from multiple directories. All the directories (Run 1 ~l Run N) are sub dir's of a dir called DATA, e.g:

          -> Run 1: bla.txt, ready.xls, clear.doc
DATA  -> Run 2: esp.txt, fey.txt, show.xls
          -> Run N: ...

So, I just want to copy bla.txt, esp.txt and fey.txt to 1 directory, let's say C:\test\

How can I fix this in matlab?

a hint:

     help copyfile;
% then, drill all the way down to NOTE 2...

I already did... But you have to do it for all the directories (Run 1 ~ Run N) seperatly. So I'm searching for a command which copies all txt-files from DATA and it's subdirectories.

well... currently not possible in ML...
you may have to call a system command...

     help system;
     help unix;
     help dos;

There's no such commend built-in to MATLAB, but a little bit of work with 
DIR, COPYFILE (already mentioned), and GENPATH could give you what you need.
