Using dir with multiple wildcards for directories

I'd like to be able to use dir to list all files in the grandchildren directories of my cwd, as in
dir('*/*')
As far as I can tell, this is impossible, is there a recommended workaround for this?
Thanks, Leo

Leo - look in the File Exchange for a recursive directory listing submission. One such example is rdir.

Thanks Geoff. rdir is exactly what I was looking for. For the benefit of others, typing
rdir('*/*')
gives more information than perhaps one would like, but, like dir,
D = rdir(*/*)
returns a struct so you can then extract just names, or modification dates.
