Read files with both upper and lower cases

%% Checking data

[File.input.listGit,~] = createsList([dataDirectory '/*.git']);

Is it possible to read files end with either *git or *GIT (insensitive of cases) in matlab (ubunto version).

[Stephen23]

The obvious solution is to simply call DIR twice (what your function does we don't know).

If you want every permutation of case for all characters then that would get a bit ... repetitive. Probably at that point you should just use *.* to match all files and then some case-insensitive text matching to select the files that you want.

In Windows, it will retrieve all the files regardless of the capitalization of the extension or base file name. I'm not sure about Ubuntu though.

fileList = dir('*.gif')

Does that not work for you?

If there is a difference in Ubuntu, you can call dir twice, as @Stephen23 said in his comment above, and then concatenate them as shown below:

fileList1 = dir('*.gif')
fileList2 = dir('*.GIF')
allFiles = [fileList1; fileList2]

writematrix(1,'lower.txt')
writematrix(2,'UPPER.TXT')
dir *.txt

lower.txt  

dir *.TXT

UPPER.TXT  

dir *.Txt

No matches for pattern '*.Txt'.
