function [dataFilename, dataFolder] = getFile(filterSpec, title)

% getFile
%
% Similar to uigetfile, it opens a dialogue to get a file, but it also
% remembers the last folder location, so the user will not need to navigate
% to the same folder multiple times.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 
% Use [dataFilename dataFolder] = getFile(filterSpec)
%
%   filterSpec:   The type of file to show. For example, if set to '*.txt'
%   (OPTIONAL)    only text files will be visible for choosing.
%                 DEFAULT: *.*, so all files are shown.
%
%   title:        This parameter will be the title of the dialogue box.
%   (OPTIONAL)    DEFAULT: No title will be shown.
%
%   dataFilename: The name of the chosen file.
%
%   dataFolder:   The path of the chosen file.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%   USAGE EXAMPLE: 
%   
%   [fileName pathName] = getFile('*.jpg');
%
%   In this example a dialogue will open and only show all jpg files. The
%   name of the chosen file and the path to it are stores in fileName and
%   pathName respectively.
