newd

A "cd" replacement that allows use of tilde for home directory on Windows systems

newd(directory_string, long)

If the first arg contains '~' then a "home directory" will be substituted into the string. If 'long' is empty or zero, the replacement will be 'C:/users/yourusername' .

If 'long' is nonzero, the replacement will include the 'Documents' directory, which may be a OneDrive or whatever is identified in the Registry.

The code for the latter case is copied from https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/15885
