How can I add all subfolders to my MATLAB path?
For example, my matlab folder 'current_use' is under the directory user/example/matlab/current_use and under 'current_use' folder there are 6 subfolders and each contains data files I need to test, i.e., my matlab script under folder 'current_use' will call all data under the subfolders which are inside folder 'current_use' What I am doing now is each time tell matlab the path of each my subfolder, i.e., inside my script I have a comment to tell matlab to look the path 'user/example/matlab/current_use'. It works. However, now I need to upload my code to the school server to run it. But after I upload everything onto school server, the path 'user/example/matlab/current_use' will no longer by correct. i.e., the part 'user/example/matlab/' is changed. So I am wondering, is there a way that I can let matlab to add all subfolders under current folder without tell it where is the current folder? or, is there a comment that matlab can use to obtain the path for the current folder?

% Determine where your m-file's folder is. folder = fileparts(which(mfilename)); % Add that folder plus all subfolders to the path. addpath(genpath(folder));
