what is the difference between dir and ls

 Accepted Answer

Using the syntax
list = ls(...)
vs
list = dir(...)
gives a very different result. The former just gives you a character array of the names, the latter gives you a struct which contains information about the date modified, byte size and whether or not the particular element of the listing is a folder.
When used without return type both just give a listing of folder/file names within the given folder and no further information.
