[FileName[,PathName[,FilterIndex]]]=uigetfile([file_mask[,dir[,boxTitle[,multipleSelection]]]]) PathFileName=uigetfile([file_mask[,dir[,boxTitle[,multiple]]]])
a string matrix which gives the file masks to use for file selection. file_mask is written with Unix convention. The default value is '*'.
we can also add descriptions for masks, for example ["*.x*","X files";"*.bin","BIN files"].
