Selecting files from a directory

Probably a simple question but i currently use
sims = uigetdir ('C:\Matlab')
info = dir(fullfile(sims,'*.in'))
list = {info.name}
Which brings up the popup window where i selected my folder, in this case 'RRfiles' which then gives me the list of the files in there and away we go. I am trying to do this without having to select the folder manually.
I have tried sims = dir ('C:\Matlab\RRfiles') which does tell me how many files are in there but the answer should be 26 and it is actually 28 because of '.' and '..' so i need a way of filtering out these files just like before. but putting info = dir(fullfile(sims,'*.in')) afterwards doesnt work. Any advice would be appreicated.

sims = pwd; %uigetdir ('C:\Matlab')
save test.in sims % create a file
info = dir(fullfile(sims,'*.in'))
list = {info(~[info.isdir]).name} % this will separate folders from files

Rik is right. I am using pwd and a file to demonstrate the commands later. It is the line "list = {info(~[info.isdir]).name}" that remove the '.' and '..' folders.
