yes it is possible to search files.

you can write code as you like. For example I want to search file 'test.txt' in current folder c:/matlab/ then I can do like this.

files = dir('c:/matlab/*.txt');

now files contains all files with txt format. now you can loop for your file.

there are many other ways. This is just example to show you.
