gets directory from filenames
dirs = dirname(files[, flag [,flagexpand]])
a string matrix containing file paths
optional boolean, used to convert the given
path(s) for the current operating system.
Default value is true (%t).
optional boolean, used to expand leading
variables in paths. Only used with
flag argument. Default value
is true (%t).
string matrices
dirname returns the directory paths of the file entries
given in files.
If flag is true the paths are first
converted for the current operating system (for example,
C:/Tmp/folder' will be converted on Windows to
'C:\Tmp\folder').
If flagexpand is true, leading path
variables (home,
SCI, SCIHOME,
...) are expanded for the current operating system (for
example, 'home\tmp' will be converted on
GNU/Linux to 'home/<user>/tmp',
where <user> is the current user
logged on).
See more details on flag and
flagexpand
in pathconvert section.
