How to get the pathname and filename of some files that I have chosen?

I've managed to select multiple files through a GUI matlab, but I just get the pathname and filename of the last file alone, for example I choose the file 1,2,3, and 4, but I get only a pathname and filename of the file 4 only, whereas I want get the whole pathname and filename of the file that I choose. how can I do that and display it into a Edit Text GUI components?

You can do this:

   [filename, pathname] = uigetfile(type, 'Select Multiple Files','MultiSelect','on');
   numberOfFiles = length(filename);
   selectedFiles = cell(1,numberOfFiles);
   for i = 1:numberOfFiles
       selectedFiles{1,i} = fullfile(pathname, filesep, filename{1,i});
   end

This will however not work if you select a single file. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much.. But what if I want to display the pathname and filename I have selected the text into an edit in the GUI? From the picture below, after I press the browse button, then I want the entire pathname and filename of the file that I have chosen, will appear in the final text editing, how to be like that?

1. Right click on the edit box
2. Get the Tag (lets say it is TagName)
3. Go to your code and use this:

   set(handles.TagName, 'String', nameOfTheFile);
