Re: General algorithm to find systematically named files in sub-director

Thank you Markus!

For the LATEX question (I have been meaning to go post on a LATEX forum) I have a company logo on all other pages in the header. For the TOC page I am unable to put this logo in the header. A page break is inserted without a pagebreak command. The TOC is not long enough to force this, it is very short as I currently generate a report with no input data, i.e. WAV files, so it is pretty well empty. I end up with a page with the logo in the header but with nothing else on it and a TOC page with no logo in the header. I tried \nopagebreak[4] but this had no effect.

The glob command is exactly what I was looking for!

I am not exactly sure what you mean, but have a look at the
\addcontentsline command:

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{This text will appear in the toc and look
like a section}

If I understood correctly, you want to iterate over all files named e.g.
sample1.wav in all project_XXX subdirectories? IMHO the best way for
doing this would be something like:

files = glob("project_*/sample1.wav");
for f = files{:}'
disp(f{1});
endfor

glob gives you a cell array of all matching filenames and can also be
used to look in different subdirectories.

Cheers,
Markus
