uigetfile doesn't get all files with a certain extension

I have an app that calls
[x,y] = uigetfile({'*.TXA;*.txt'});
where .TXA is a different type of text file. All of a sudden today uigetfile doesn't find all of these files in the folder, but in fact finds five .txt files that I don't care about. I rebooted MATLAB, and then the whole computer, and it still only finds a few .txt files.
Any clue what's going on? Thanks!

My old eyes didn't see it first go -- your list of extensions is malformed -- use
[f,p] = uigetfile({'*.TXA';'*.txt'});
instead. It's a cell array of extensions, you had a single cell string so it was trying to match the whole enchilada, not each one separately.
