how to find specific Folder's path ?

Suppose I have one folder called 'Tools Ordered'

its path is 'C:\New\Folders\Tools\Tools Ordered'

Then If I want to find this above path by only using the name 'Tools Ordered', then how can I find it ?

Can anyone suggest me any idea ?

This is impossible. There could be a huge number of different locations, e.g. a public network share "\\123.234.12.167\Share\Tools Ordered". So if you do not have the additional information about the disk or that it is a local disk, a search can need too much time.

If you do know the disk:

List  = dir(fullfile('C:\', '**', 'Tools Ordered', '.'));
Paths = {List.folder}

But what if I use the code first

path = pwd

so that it will give first the location of my current file, which is in the folder 'Tools Ordered' somewhere.

So, now is it possible that I use any function which will give me the path till 'Tools Ordered' only from 'pwd'.

Do you mean:

List  = dir(fullfile(cd, '**', 'Tools Ordered', '.'));
Paths = {List.folder}

Note that pwd calls cd only, so you can call cd directly.
