How do I save multiple .txt files from different folders to one new folder?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have saved txt files to a directory, but this just gives me the names. I cannot then access the files in the directory and compile them in one place.

@Emily Frith: your question is confusing.
For example, the title is "How do I save multiple .txt files from different folders to one new folder?", but then you explained that "I have saved txt files to a directory...". So which of these is correct: are the files in multiple folders (like your title states) or in one folder (as per your explanation)?
"I have saved txt files to a directory, but this just gives me the names"
Saving data in a file does not "give" names. If you "got" the names, then this is due to some other action or process.
"I cannot then access the files in the directory..."
Why not? What have you tried so far?

filenames = fullfile({fileList.folder}, {filelist.name});
copyfile(filenames, outputPath);
This assumes that the source files all have different base names (the part without the folder). If the names might be the same, then you need to decide what the output file names are to be in cases where there is a clash.

Did you check to see whether it exists already and mkdir it if not?
if ~isfolder(outputPath); mkdir(outputPath); end
for R2017a and earlier use isdir() instead of isfolder()
