Hello, e.g. I have some files named
ab01.sun, cd023.sun, sdf45.sun, wad23.sun
I want to move a file into a subfolder after its work is done. I made a string of filenames and a code like this.
ls_al = dir;
justfiles = ls_al(~[ls_al.isdir]); %only for files
savepath = Y:\ykumkar\MyWork\;
for k = 1:length(justfiles)
filename = justfiles(k).name;
[MyOut, X] = MyFunctionyk(filename);
sp=[savepath char(filename) '.mat'];
save(sp, 'MyOut', 'X');
Now I want to move the first file to a subfolder 'done_files' after the function is run and the output is saved and so on.
movefile ('justfiles(k)', './done_files/'); % need help here
disp 'Done for the file justfiles(k)'; % need help here
end

The error seems to come from fullfile(). Take a look at help fullfile to see how it should be used. It basically put path and file name together. You can also use [PathStr,filesep,FileName] too, where filesep is defined by MATLAB. type 'filesep' to see it.
