MATLAB: How to save all workspace variables and figures in a folder

importmakerMATLABMATLAB and Simulink Student Suitesaveworkspace

Hello there, I want to write a code which will save all workspace variables and figures in separate folders.

For example if I am currently in folder C:\Users\XXX\Documents

I want MATLAB to create a folder named 'ED' in 'Documents' and then create subfolder named '['N=',num2str(N)]' and further create two subfolders in '['N=',num2str(N)]' folder named 'Data' and 'Figures' and then save all workspace variables in folder 'Data' and figures in folder 'Figures'.

Is it possible in MATLAB?

You can save all variables in the current workspace by using save without specifying any variable name, although this is inadvisable outside of debugging.

Other functions you might want to look into: sprintf, mkdir, savefig, and fullfile

Use absoulte paths.

MATLAB: HOW TO CREATE A FOLDER WITH DIFFERENT NAMES AND A SUBFOLDER FOR EACH FOLDER

At the top, define the parent directory (the directory where your simulation data folders will go). Then set the number of simulation data folders to be created. The code will loop through each new folder and create the simulation_datax folder and the real_data subfolder. If the simulation data folder already exists, the iteration will be skipped.

parentdir = 'C:\Users\hristobotev\Documents\MATLAB\mydata'; %parent directory
maximum_Folder  = 10;   %number of simulation_Data folders to create
ROOT_FOLDER  = 'simulation_Data'; %base name for folder 1
f2name = 'real_Data';       %base name for folder 2
for n = 1:maximum_Folder
    newfolder = fullfile(parentdir, sprintf('%s%d', ROOT_FOLDER, n)); 
    status = mkdir(newfolder); 
    if status
        mkdir(fullfile(newfolder, f2name)); 
    end  
end
