MATLAB: How to find file last modification date

modification date

Heloo all I have some mat files that contains some numbers. and I have variable x that contains the one of this mat file name. now I want to figure out the last modification date of this mat file through x variable input. I tried to do this in such a way but failed.

file=dir('x{1,1}.mat')
file.date

Any idea would be a great job for me.

Thanks in edvance

MATLAB: Logic to copy files into specific locations

Hi,

This is a possible approach:

files = dir('*.mat');
for i = 1:length(files)
    datefolder = files(i).name(14:19);
    mkdir(getdate)
    copyfile('files(i).name',datefolder)
end

With the DIR command you get the names of the files in your folder (eventually you can also select wich file extension you want). With a simple loop you extract the date from the file name (based on your file this seems to be always in the same position so you only need to find the portion of your vection to extract). You may use this information to create the new folder (eventually reshaping it adding dashes or inverting the terms) and then with COPYFILE you can copy the file in the new folder.

res =
