How to read folders of diferent names extensions

Dear all, I have folders the name of which is e.g. 000003.537, 000003.637, 000004.037. In each folder is one image file and the name of all image files is the same e.g. 000001.tiff. I am looking for the way how to take out images from all folder and copy them into new folder.

Now I do that in a simple way, that I rename all folder to e.g. 000001, 000002, 000003,... and in such a way I go around the issue with such name 000003.537.

The different name of folder and the changing extension is my problem.

I will appreciate any advice which will lead to more elegant solution. Ludek

% retrieve all subfolders's names

s     = dir('yourpath');
idx   = [s(:).isdir];
names = {s(idx).name}';

% Remove . and ..

names = setdiff(names,{'.','..'});

Now you can loop through each names and movefile() which is inside.
