Re: batch processing

[Josh Wiebe]

With batch processing, I find it useful to create a "list" file from the 
command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Unix), and then read in the "list" file 
in Octave.  This allows me to easily modify the list of files to suit my needs. 
 This can be done using: 
 dir /b *.csv > list.txt   in windows or,
ls  *.csv > list.txt   in unix.

Then in Octave,

fidList=fopen('list.txt', 'rt');
while ~feof(fidList)
        fileIn=fgetl(fidList);
        .
        .
        .
end %while
fclose(fidList)

Cheers,
Josh
