Hello, e.g. I have some files named
ab01.sun, cd023.sun, sdf45.sun, wad23.sun
I want to move a file into a subfolder after its work is done. I made a string of filenames and a code like this.
ls_al = dir;
justfiles = ls_al(~[ls_al.isdir]); %only for files
savepath = Y:\ykumkar\MyWork\;
for k = 1:length(justfiles)
filename = justfiles(k).name;
[MyOut, X] = MyFunctionyk(filename);
sp=[savepath char(filename) '.mat'];
save(sp, 'MyOut', 'X');
Now I want to move the first file to a subfolder 'done_files' after the function is run and the output is saved and so on.
movefile ('justfiles(k)', './done_files/'); % need help here
disp 'Done for the file justfiles(k)'; % need help here
end

What is your question? A few things.
  1. savepath='Y:\ykumkar\MyWork\';% need to have single quotes for sting assignment
  2. sp=[savepath,filename,'.mat'); %no need to use char() since filename is already a string
  3. movefile(filename,fullfile('./done_files/',filename));

Thanks Fangjun, rest of the code works well, only it is not moving files to the subdirectory after its work is done. I tried as you said,
movefile(filename,fullfile('./done_files/',filename));
but got error.
Undefined function or method 'eq' for input arguments of type 'struct'.
Error in ==> fullfile at 39
elseif (f(end)==fs) || (part(1)==fs || (bIsPC && (f(end)=='/' || part(1)=='/')) )
filename is a struct.

movefile() is basically movefile(source, destination). You can try the movefile() command in Command Window to understand it's syntax and make sure it works. Also, make sure if your function MyFunctionyk(filename) opens the file using fopen(), make sure it is closed using fclose().

The error seems to come from fullfile(). Take a look at help fullfile to see how it should be used. It basically put path and file name together. You can also use [PathStr,filesep,FileName] too, where filesep is defined by MATLAB. type 'filesep' to see it.

thanks Fangjun,
i managed it.
actually filename is a 'struct', this means i had to do
movefile(filename.name,'./done_files/');
