MATLAB: How to change the name of a file inputted to a function in MATLAB

renametext file

I want to input a text file to a function, and after running the function, want to change the filename to a specific thing, depending on the results of the function. For example, if the function classifies the folder as belonging to History, I want to rename the text document to History1, if another test file gets classified as belonging to topic history, I want it to be renamed as History2, and so on, and placed in a specific folder.

MATLAB: Disp: “Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type”

You've written or downloaded a disp.m file that's shadowing the built-in disp function. Run this code.

which -all disp

You will see a lot of entries, most of which are in MathWorks toolboxes (overloads of the disp function for specific object types.) If it says "% <something> method" at the end of the line, you can probably safely ignore it.

Look up near the top and you'll see one that doesn't belong (isn't a method of a class and isn't the built-in version.) Rename or remove that file.

Since you say you also received the same problem calling plot, you probably also have a plot.m that's shadowing the built-in plot function. The solution is the same, except you use plot in place of disp in the which call:

which -all plot

If those shadowing functions are in the same directory, you may want to look at the rest of the directory and remove or move that directory off the MATLAB search path.
