show part of filenames using uigetfile

Hi:

ther are lots of files with the same suffix, such as '.mat' in a folder, I have named them based on their features, for example:

test001.mat, test002.mat, .... test050.mat

experiment001.mat, experiment002.mat ..... experiment050.mat

simulation001.mat, simulation002.mat ..... simulation050.mat

yes I can use uigetfile('*.mat') to select the desired one, but is there anyway to only show part of them, for example, I enter a string 'test' as input, them only shows the testxxx.mat?

Bests,

Yu

Is that that you need?

filename = uigetfile('test*.mat')

[Adam Danz]

You can also specify the path to the directory

filename = uigetfile('C:\Users\ntesla\Documents\MATLAB\test*.mat')
