Comparison for existance of duplicate files in folder in MATLAB?

[ganesh449]

Hi friends,
In my MATLAB project i have a scenario,in which i have to extract the features of an image and store all the files with a specified name in a folder.Now my issue is how can i know the existence of file name already in that folder.I need a MATLAB code for the comparison of file names in the folder.

My scenario:
I have a folder named Test.
i have files named Test1.mat,Test2.mat,Test3.mat,Test4.mat,Test5.mat
Now when ever i give the file name Test1.mat it has to show that file name already exists..



Thanks,
RVL.Ganesh.

cd 'required directory';
var_1=dir;

% var_1 will be a structure, i don't remember exactly the fields. But amongst them, there's a field called name. use this info and strcmp.
