MATLAB: How to apply function to certain files in directory

Question

I have a directory full of different files. The function I have will fopen and fread the content and process it to create other files. My function takes in parameter (parameter being the title of the file), but I would like to make the function run through the directory and read only the .raw files in that folder. Any help?

Answer 1

Just get the function to work on the selected files in the folder to begin with:

i.e.

    fileNames = dir('*.raw');     % structure
    fileNames = {fileNames.name}; % actual names extracted to cell array
