I used "uigetdir" in a GUI and want that folder window starts from directory of m file of the GUI. I changed current directory by mfilepath and cd commands but it did not work. How can achieve this?

I used following script to obtain m file directory and to change current directory:

p = mfilename('fullpath');
s = find(p=='\');
filePath = p(1:s(end)-1);
cd(filePath);

s and filePath part is for obtaining the folder directory, not for m file address.

Then I used uigetdir(cd). It works on R2013b but not on R2011b. How can I overcome this situation for R2011b?

p = mfilename('fullpath');
[filePath, filename, ext] = fileparts(p);
user_selected_dir = uigetdir(filePath);
