Hello all
Is it possible to find the path of a filename given as input. Suppose say, I want to find the path to the file "XYZ.doc" in my system. Is there a way to find it in MATLAB?
Thanks
Bhomik

This searches the specified file name in all folders of the Matlab path:
File = which('XYZ.doc')
If this satisfies your needs depends on what exactly "your system" means. Does this mean the Matlab path, all local disks, all folders on the local disks with read access for the current user, or even all network connections? Even asking Google to search in the net is possible.
