Hey,
i am using App designer and i am trying to open files wit browse button but i'm trying to open only files type " .mat " , and i want to add that i want to be able choose files only starts with some name , for example when i click on Browse button i can see all .mat files , that starts with 'example_PIKO_' .
I know i can find only mat fiels with ->
somePath=uigetdir(pwd,'Select a folder');
files=dir(fullfile(somePath,'*.mat'));
But as you understand it shows all mat files, but i would like to filter also by file name.
Thank you very much.

You can add the name before the * as shown below.
Somename = 'example_PIKO_';
somePath=uigetdir(pwd,'Select a folder');
files=dir(fullfile(somePath,[Somename '*.mat']));
