Use the "ls" MATLAB command to acquire a list of subdirectories, e.g. filenames = ls; Use the "cd" MATLAB command to move to a particular subdirectory. Use the "unzip" MATLAB command as specified. Use the "!cp SRC_FILE DEST_FILE" command to invoke the "cp SRC_FILE DEST_FILE" shell command. Use the "mkdir" MATLAB command to create the necessary directories.
