destdir = 'C:\Users\Rahaf\EE208\assignment\databasedir';
[filename, pathname] = uigetfile('*.mat', 'choose a file');
if ~ischar(filename)
    return;         %user cancel
end
sourcefile = fullfile(pathname, filename);
try
    [success, message] = movefile(sourcefile, destdir);
    if ~success
        warndlg('Failed to move file "%s" to "%s" because "%s"', sourcefile, destdir, message);
        return
    end
catch ME
    warndlg('Failed to move file "%s" to "%s" for some reason', sourcefile, destdir);
    return

Perhaps use my demo. In the middle of the loop is where you would stick a call to copyfile() or movefile().

The cleanest (and probably fastest) method is to let load(filename) store into a variable, and let the function return this variable. So like this

function myData = checkfile(filename, pathname)
if isequal(filename,0)
    warndlg('File not selected.', 'Warning!', 'modal');
    myData = [];
else
    cd(pathname);
    myData = load(filename);            % load variables
end
end

Note that I also added myData = [] for the case that there was no file selected. Otherwise your function would fail in this case.

myData will be a structure containing all the variables of the file. So in your case it will contain myData.a, myData.b and myData.c.
