function [pfnd, prel] = findfiledir(opath, spath, isafile, useff)
% findfiledir  - find a named file or directory
%
% FORMAT:       [pfnd, prel] = findfiledir(opath, spath, isafile, useff)
%
% Input fields:
%
%       opath       original path
%       spath       either string or 1xP cell array to search in
%       isafile     is it a file (true) or directory (false)
%       useff       make use of findfiles or not
%
% Output fields:
%
%       pfnd        either the found file/dir path or empty
%       prel        relative path from the matching spath
