Is there a command to add a path to ALL folders and subfolders?

Hi guys

-apologies if this has been asked before - I cannot find a solution anywhere!

I have a script which accepts functions and data from 5 different folders (which I need to keep separate).

Therefore I need to add paths to each folder every time I boot up matlab. Its a pain!

I run this script on different computers all the time - (using different OS's) - therefore cannot use ...

addpath('specific location') ... in my script, and therefore do it manually by right-clicking > addpaths .. :(

Is there a generic way to add a link to everything within a directory?.

ie - a line of code which could give me something like ...

addpath('every folder and subfolder in this directory')

My directory looks like ...

{MainFolder % [Master Directory with everything in it]

>- MasterScript.m % [ which calls stuff from folder 1-5 ]

>- Folder1

>- Folder2

>- Folder3

>- Folder 4

>-Folder 5}

I hope that makes sense. Its a pretty simple problem. Let me know if you have a solution (which doesnt involve moving files or making more folders!)

Thanks!

% Determine where your m-file's folder is.

folder = fileparts(which(mfilename));

% Add that folder plus all subfolders to the path.

addpath(genpath(folder));

Of faster and saver:

folder = fileparts(mfilename('fullpath'));
