disp (' ');
name = input ('Enter a name for the folder (single quotes): '); % input folder's name
mkdir (name);
It was running fine when i tested it... 'Test' by giving this string name
disp (' ');
name = inputdlg ('Enter a name for the folder (single quotes): '); % input folder's name
mkdir (name);
now when i enter a string 'Test' as my folder name in this dialogue box i get error which says...
Error using mkdir
Argument must contain a string.

Rizwana, in this case use
name = inputdlg ('Enter a name for the folder (single quotes): ');
mkdir (name{1});
Note the curly brackets.

As pointed out above and explained by Jan below, inputdlg returns a cell array of strings. The following code snippet shows how to read and output multiple (2) lines of strings:
prompt = {'Input dialog'};
name = 'Input dialog';
numlines = 2;
dlg_ans = inputdlg(prompt, name, numlines);
dlg_ans{1}(1,:)
dlg_ans{1}(2,:)

Please read the documentation of inputdlg . There you find the explanation, that a cell is replied. But mkdir requires a string.
You have to pick a certain element out of the cell.
See:
doc inputdlg
doc cell
doc mkdir
