- %UIGETFILE Interactively retrieve a filename by displaying a dialog box.
- % [FILENAME, PATHNAME] = UIGETFILE('filterSpec', 'dialogTitle', X, Y)
- % displays a dialog box for the user to fill in, and returns the
- % filename and path strings. A successful return occurs only if
- % the file exists. If the user selects a file that does not exist,
- % an error message is displayed, and control returns to the dialog box.
- % The user may then enter another filename, or press the Cancel button.
- %
- % All parameters are optional, but if one is used, all previous
- % parameters must also be used.
- %
- % The filterSpec parameter determines the initial display of files in
- % the dialog box. For example '*.m' lists all the MATLAB M-files.
- %
- % Parameter 'dialogTitle' is a string containing the title of the dialog
- % box.
- %
- % The X and Y parameters define the initial position of the dialog
- % box in units of pixels. Some systems may not support this option.
- %
- % The output variable FILENAME is a string containing the name of the
- % file selected in the dialog box. If the user presses the Cancel button
- % or if any error occurs, it is set to 0.
- %
- % The output parameter PATHNAME is a string containing the path of
- % the file selected in the dialog box. If the user presses the Cancel
- % button or if any error occurs, it is set to 0.
