Re: Directory Listing in Octave -- Recursion

I found also a solution here:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/19550-recursive-directory-listing

rdir by Gus Brow.

I have not tried another variant:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47125-rdir-m

by Core.

I modified the one from Gus Browto make it compatible to Octave.

Matlab does not need this function any longer, as the "**" syntax is since Matlab v2016b integrated into dir().

Attached the version that I use.

Regards,

Stefan

Here is a solution that does not require external utilties:

function retval = rdir (d)
## info about D
d_info = dir (d);
## list of directories in D, not including . and ..
names = {d_info.name};
subdirs = names([d_info.isdir]);
subdirs = subdirs(3:end);
## adjust filenames to include directory info
for j = 1:numel (d_info)
d_info(j).name = fullfile (d, d_info(j).name);
endfor
retval = d_info;
for i = 1:numel (subdirs)
## recurse and append results for subdirectories to the list
d_info = rdir (fullfile (d, subdirs{i}));
retval = [retval; d_info];
endfor
endfunction

However, this solution is fairly slow for large directories at least
in part because Octave's dir function is also an interpreted
function. It might be good to convert that function to C++.

Also, this function assumes that the first two entries returned from
the dir function are "." and "..". Is that always true on Windows
systems as well?
