[file,path,indx] = uigetfile( ...
    {'*.DATA;*.PVO;*.PVP;*.PVI;*.slx;*.INC','Eclipse Files (*.DATA,*.INC)';
    '*.PVO;*.PVP;*.PVI;*.INC','PVTi files (*.PVO,*.PVP,*.PVI)';...
    '*.*',  'All Files (*.*)'},'Select a File','MultiSelect', 'on');
if isequal(file,0)
    disp('User selected Cancel');
else
    if ischar(file); file = {file}; end
    file(ismember(file, {'.', '..'})) = [];
    file = fullfile(path, file);
    for i = 1:length(file)
      copyfile(file{i});
    end
end
