function fileCellArray = processFilenames(fileList)
%
% Turns the fileList from the properties file (usually properties.files) into a cell array of file names. The fileList can be either:
% a. a cell array of file names, e.g.: {'file1.xlsx', 'file2.xlsx'}
% b. a call to ls or ls with an argument, e.g. ls('*.xlsx')
% c. a space or tab separated character row vector of file names
% d. a character matrix of filenames (each filename on a separate row)
