MATLAB: How to run program once for every new image stored in folder

image processing

I have a program to process all the JPEG photos in a folder. But what I want to do is to run the program once every time a new image is stored in the folder. Any ideas to do so?

My current code is something like that:

    srcFiles = dir('C:\FTP\testing2\*.jpg');
    for i = 1 : length(srcFiles)
        filename = strcat('C:\FTP\testing2\', srcFiles(i).name);
        I = imread(filename);
        ...........rest of my code..........
    end

MATLAB: Removing a folder from a directory outsaide the current directory of Matlab

You just need to specify the full path of the folder you want to delete to rmdir. If you supply just the folder name, it assumes that folder is in the current directory. You can use fullfile to build the full path of the folder:

parentfolder = 'C:\somewhere\on\the\drive';
foldername = 'deleteme'
rmdir(fullfile(parentfolder, foldername), 's');
