I have a folder named AAA. Inside folder AAA there is another folder name A, inside A there is another folder B. folder B consist of 300 images. I want to get every 10th number image from folder B ( It will be 30 images) and place these images in another folder C. I need a Matlab code for this Scenario. Any help?

Something like this should work. You will possibly need to add code to appropriately sort your list of images. I've marked where you would do it.

imageFolder = uigetdir('', 'Select Image Folder');
destinationFolder = uigetdir(imageFolder, 'Select Destination Folder');
contents = dir(imageFolder);
fileList = contents(~[contents.isdir]);
% Sort list as needed here
filesToMove = fileList(1:10:end);
fromPaths = fullfile(imageFolder,{filesToMove.name});
toPaths = fullfile(destinationFolder,{filesToMove.name});
for fileIdx = 1:numel(fromPaths)
    copyfile(fromPaths{fileIdx}, toPaths{fileIdx})
end

Also I'm note sure the specific relevance of folders AAA and A. If AAA, A, and B are all known folders and you want to create C based on them, you could replace the uigetdir code with something like

imageFolder = fullfile(AAA,A,B);
destinationFolder = fullfile(AAA,A,C);
if ~exist(destinationFolder, 'dir')
    mkdir(festinationFolder);    
end

So far i have tried this code.. but it works in wrong direction. It searches for images inside the destination folder (off course can not find any image).

t=1;

% alphas are names of the folders

alphas = {'Ain';'Alif';'Bay';'Byay';'Chay';'Dal';'Ddal';'Dwad';'Fay';'Ghaf';'Ghain';'Hamza';'Hay';'Hhhay';'Kaf';'Khay';'Lam';'Meem';'Noon';'Noonghuna';

'Pay';'Qaf';'Ray';'Say';'Seen';'Sheen';'Ssay';'Swad';'Tay';'Touy';'TTay';'Wow';'Yay';'Zal';'Zay';'Zouy'}

for i=1:36 % number of folders

for j=1:1 % this is the person 1 folder named with 1 so that's why the j goes from 1:1

jj=sprintf('%d',j);

name=alphas(i);

name1 = char(name);

mkdir(jj, name1);

n=sprintf('%d',j);

mn=strcat(name,'00',n);

% number of sub folder inside each of the 36 folders..k=1 means each

% folder is having one folder inside means for folder Ain there will

% is a folder named Ain001 (1)

for k=1:1

d=sprintf('%d',k);

sf=strcat(mn,{' '},'(',d,')');

sf1=char(sf);

ffile=fullfile(jj,name1);

mkdir(ffile,sf1);

bc1=strcat(sf1,'Selected'); % this should be the new folder (Concat the Selected with the name of the folder)genrated INSIDE Ain folder

% (Remember Ain is also having the Ain001 (1)folder in it)

% From Ain001 (1) I need to select image 10,20,30,40.... means

% every 10th image and write those images inside Ain001 (1)Selected

bc1=char(bc1);

bc=strcat(ffile,'\',bc1);

bc=char(bc);

mkdir(bc);

fullname2 = fullfile(ffile,'\',sf1);

fullname4=fullfile(ffile,'\',ffsc1);

fullname5=fullfile(ffile,'\',bc1);

numf=dir([fullname5 '/*.jpg']);

numfs=size(numf,1);

nums=numfs/10;

for ii=1:nums

nn=sprintf('%d',ii*10);

filename1 = [sprintf('%d',ii) '.jpg'];

path = fullfile(fullname5,'',filename1);

im=imread(path);

nn=sprintf('%d',t);

filename1=strcat(nn,'.jpg');

pathsel=fullfile(fullname2,filename1);

imwrite(im,pathsel);

t=t+1;

end

I'm having a little trouble following this. There is a lot of extra code. For example:

jj=sprintf('%d',j);    
name=alphas(i);
name1 = char(name);
mkdir(jj, name1);

could just be

% Make a folder '1' inside user folder
mkdir(num2str(j),alphas{i});

Another problem I think you're having is that your inputs to mkdir appear to be backwords. The format mkdir is mkdir(parent directory, new folder) so mkdir('C:\MyExistingFolder', 'NewFolder') would create 'C:\MyExistingFolder\NewFolder';

You could also just do mkdir(['C:\MyExistingFolder' filesep 'NewFolder']) or mkdir(fullfile('C:\MyExistingFolder', 'NewFolder').

Why are you using imread and imwrite instead of copyfile to move the image files? Are you actually doing some processing on these images in your real application?
