MATLAB: ‘find in files’ doesn’t have “whole word” option as regular find has:

filesfindMATLABwholeword

When I go to the Home tab and click Find Files, there is no option to search by "whole word".

The regular Find search has this option.

Please see the attached image. The "whole word" option is under the 'Search type:' dropdown menu.

This is due to checking the Whole Word box. The problem disappeared when it was unchecked. I hope this spares someone else a silly mistake.

MATLAB: How to make ‘Find Files’ return file names only once in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)

By default, the Find Files feature performs a simple LS command on the underlying directory structure.

To return file names that contain the text only once, you can call command-line shell tools like GREP on Unix-based operating systems. Then, you can use the UNIQUE function in MATLAB, with the 'first' parameter argument, on the string array returned by GREP to satisfy this requirement.

For more information, please take a look at the system documentation for GREP on Unix machines, or consider using a third-party tool like Windows Grep (see below) on Windows machines:
