Which is better to use in my case -uigetfile or uigetdir?

6 views (last 30 days)
I have a archived files in the following location- C:\Archive\project_dir\project_folder.
I have a Browse button in the GUI, which should allow to choose the entire project folder (It consists of .mat files). Which command is better for my requirement, uigetfile or uigetdir?
Note: Also, I need to have a check if the user has selected the file within the folder C:\Archive\project_dir. It is not possible to select the project_folder outside this directory location.

f='C:\Archive\project_dir\project_folder\'
[file,pat]=uigetfile(f,'*.mat')
yourfile=fullfile(pat,file)
test=isequal(f,pat) % to check if the user has selected the right folder

Thanks Azzi.
Actually, I have to select the project folder and not the .mat files within. When running the code, I am not able to select the entire folder!
Can you suggest a solution?
