If I understand the task correctly, you can use an if condition to create the text object only when datedata is 2020 or 2021.
Example:
filepath = 'C:\Me\Desktop\website figures';
% Iterate over each year from 2006 to the current year
for datedata = 2006:currentYear
% Create a new figure for each year
figure;
set(gcf, 'Position', [10,10,800,600])
% make plots
% ...
subplot(5,1,1);
% ...
subplot(5,1,2);
% ...
subplot(5,1,3);
% ...
subplot(5,1,4);
% ...
subplot(5,1,5);
% ...
% make text in subplot 5 for 2020/2021
% [if you want the text in another subplot, move this block up to the
% appropriate place in the code or capture the subplot axes handle,
% e.g., ax=subplot(5,1,2), and then create the text in that axes, i.e.,
% text(ax,x,3,...)]
if datedata == 2020 || datedata == 2021
x = 0; % specify the x-location of the text
txt1 = '- - - - anthropause - - - -';
text(x,3,txt1,'Color','red','FontSize',10,'Rotation',0);
end
% Save each figure to a specific folder
filename = sprintf('AnnualPlots %d.jpg',datedata);
saveas(gcf, fullfile(filepath,filename));
end
