Recursive directory search for all models

My professor and I want to test a system for all the models present in a directory. Instead of passing all the models separately by using varargin, can I somehow generate all the models in a directory as a string,so that I can split it across a .slx and get the models and test my system in one go????

Hi Rohit,

Instead of writing a recursive function to get all the models of a directory, you can use a simple regex match. The line of code attached below will return a structure array with many fields, one of which is the name field. You can use the dot operator to access all the names or you can use the struct2cell function which will directly return the whole structure as cell array, which you can filter out to get the .slx models.

models=dir(fullfile(dirPath,'**/*.slx'));

Hope this helps!
