Is there anyway to get the folder location where the executable is running ?

I want to create an executable which grabs files in the same directory where the executable is running and process it accordingly . I used in the code 'pwd' command to get the current folder location, but when the executable is created Matlab hardcodes the current folder location of my working directory and packages it .Thus i am not able to deploy my tool .

I believe it's in the system variable called ctfroot.
root = ctfroot returns a string that is the name of the folder where the CTF file for the deployed application is expanded.

cd or pwd is not a reliable and robust way of getting the folder of the executable since the current folder may be changed by code within the executable. Then you might try mfilename('fullpath').
