foldername = ?

How to get:

I put fileparts() into a function called GetParentFolder() because I use it so often. I've attached it.

MATLAB: How to create a folder under program generated folder name

This works for me (R2013a)

    folder_name     = 'name_of_subfolder';  % this subfolder does not exist

    parent_folder   = 'h:\m\cssm';          % this folder exists
    mkdir( parent_folder, folder_name )

What have you tried and what error message did you get?

Or, if neither folder_name nor parent_folder exists

    folder_name     = 'name_of_subfolder';  % this subfolder does not exist
    parent_folder   = 'h:\m\cssmXX';        % this folder does not exist
    mkdir( fullfile( parent_folder, folder_name ) )
