MATLAB: Changing folder’s name from unknown name

folder name

I want to change folder's name, but the only thing I know about the folder that it's the latest folder created in the folder where it located. How can I do it?

Best Answer

d = dir;

The above command returns a struct array which has a field called datenum. Each file in the current directory corresponds to an entry in the array. The latest file will have the largest datenum

MATLAB: Removing a folder from a directory outsaide the current directory of Matlab

You just need to specify the full path of the folder you want to delete to rmdir. If you supply just the folder name, it assumes that folder is in the current directory. You can use fullfile to build the full path of the folder:

parentfolder = 'C:\somewhere\on\the\drive';
foldername = 'deleteme'
rmdir(fullfile(parentfolder, foldername), 's');

MATLAB: Load folder’s images names to a Matlab listbox

You will get that error message if you had one folder and had, say, the 10'th item in the listbox selected. Then if you went to another folder and called LoadImageList() and that folder only had, say, 5 images. The listbox would still have a "value" property of 10 but there are only 5 items there. It can't select the 10th item, so it throws that warning message.

What you need to do is to add something like this after the for loop

if length(ListOfImageNames) >= 1
    set(handles.lstImageList, 'value', 1); % Select first item in listbox.
else
    set(handles.lstImageList, 'value', []); % Deselect all items.
end
