I want to have matlab skip the tempoary excel files when grabbing the files from a folder and copying it to another.
This is the code I currently have
file1=flexdir(fullfile(folder1,['\*',ext]))';
for fileindex=1:size(file1,1)
fname1=files1{fileindex};
[~,fname,fext]=fileparts(fname1);
fname2=flexdir(fullfile(folder2,[fname fext]));
copyfile(fname1, finalpath);
end
I think I need to add something like but not sure where
filelist = filelist(~startsWith({filelist.name}, '~$''));
Also how do I add '_new' at the end of the new file name?

Try this
folder1 = pwd;
folder2 = fullfile(pwd, 'Copied Files');
if ~isfolder(folder2)
mkdir(folder2);
end
ext = '.csv';
filePattern = fullfile(folder1, ['*', ext]);
fileList = dir(filePattern);
for fileindex = 1 : numel(fileList)
% Skip file starting with ~
if startsWith(fileList(fileindex).name, '~')
continue;
end
sourceFileName = fullfile(fileList(fileindex).folder, fileList(fileindex).name);
[~,fname,fext]=fileparts(sourceFileName);
destinationFileName = fullfile(folder2,[fname fext]);
copyfile(sourceFileName, destinationFileName);
end

Hi, I was able to take your input to account and currently have this.
Right now this is working except the one of the file it is supposed to copy over.
It is able to make the copy of the file but when I try to open the excel file it is all grayed out for me.
The original file looks normal so I'm not sure what's wrong.
function excelcopy(folder1, folder2)
if ~exist('ext','var')|| ~(strcmp(ext, 'xlsx') || strcmp(ext,'.xls'))
ext = 'xlsx'
end
filePattern = fullfile(folder1, ['*', ext]);
fileList = dir(filePattern);
for fileindex = 1 : numel(fileList)
% Skip file starting with ~
if startsWith(fileList(fileindex).name, '~')
continue;
end
% Prepare source filename.
sourceFileName = fullfile(fileList(fileindex).folder, fileList(fileindex).name);
% Prepare destination filename.
[~,fname,fext]=fileparts(sourceFileName);
destinationFileName = fullfile(folder2,[fname fext]);
% Print out what is getting copied.
fprintf('Copying "%s"\n to "%s".\n', sourceFileName, destinationFileName)
% Do the copy.
copyfile(sourceFileName, destinationFileName);
end

Why are you doing this:
if ~exist('ext','var')|| ~(strcmp(ext, 'xlsx') || strcmp(ext,'.xls'))
ext = 'xlsx'
end
filePattern = fullfile(folder1, ['*', ext]);
? ext will not exist at that point because it's not passed in to the function.
It should be
filePattern = fullfile(folder1, '*.xls*');
