MATLAB: Diary, how to create a new one

diary

I have a .m file I want to save the text at the command window. Next time I run the m-file I want to create a new diary file. This however seem to be problematic. I try to save the diary with a new filename but I get the message that the file doesn't exist.

Any idea how to solve this?

could you paste the value for savdir and ['file_',mfilename,myFolder(53:end),'diary.txt']?

also execute fullfile(savdir,['file_',mfilename,myFolder(53:end),'diary.txt']) and check if that runs ok.

MATLAB: Problem with overwritten data when auto saving

I'm not entirely clear on what the crux of the problem is. Are you trying to loop through the directories (nr, nr2, nr3) and want to create the directory name programmatically?

It seems like ls (and cellstr) should help:

nrDirs = cellstr(ls([pathstuff,'nr*']));

Then use that

save(fullfile(...,nrDirs{k},'_data.mat']))

Also, regarding your comment about /, use filesep to get the correct file system separator for your OS (/ or \). If you don't want to mess with the hardcoded paths you've already made, you could even do

myFolder = regexprep(myFolder,'/',filesep); % replace all /s with either / or \

for filecell = myfiles
  filename = filecell{1};
  delete(filename) ;
end

If deletion was just a sample operation

for filecell = myfiles
  filename = filecell{1};
  cmd = sprintf('rm "%s"', filename );
  system(cmd);
end
