Hey all,

I am trying to use the movefile command to rename a file using variables and current date.

If I use this code and the REPORT.txt is located in the working folder, it works absolutely fine:

movefile('REPORT.txt', fullfile(prjNo + 'REPORT'+ date +'.txt'));

However, the file I am trying to rename is located in a subfolder of the working folder. I have tried the following options but none of them works:

% Option 1:

movefile('OUT\REPORT.txt', fullfile(prjNo + 'REPORT'+ date +'.txt'));

% Option 2:

movefile(fullfile(workingfolder, + 'OUT\REPORT.txt'), fullfile(prjNo + 'REPORT'+ date +'.txt'));

Can someone point out where the problem is or offer an elegant alternative solution please?

Many thanks.

It is text.

I personally would prefer sprintf instead of strcat, but this is equivalent to what I would suggest.

Note that explicitly including the working directory is not required.

new = fullfile(prjNo + 'REPORT'+ date +'.txt'); % odd use of FULLFILE.
movefile(fullfile('.','OUT','REPORT.txt'),fullfile('.','OUT',new))

Note that '.' refers to the current directory.
