Search for string(s) within a large number of scripts located recursively within an input directory, in order to iteratively narrow down the location of a particular piece of code, as opposed to manual search. Handy for people who work on many projects and find themselves at times having to re-visit old forgotten code.

this is actually quite handy and simple to use, thanks a lot
Why not just use MATLAB's inbuilt Find Files tool?
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/finding-files-and-folders.html
MATLAB's inbuilt Find Files tool also has the option to recursively search folders, as well as matching different filename and filetype patterns. The results of each search are kept in tabs, so you can easily compare and/or copy-and-paste the results to get one combined list, if that is what you need.
Chang hsiung: Thanks for the feedback. Changes made according to your wish.

pls change the following:
elseif isstring(str)
to
elseif ischar(str)
