MATLAB: Running of mathlab files in different subfolder automatically

automatic opening and running of filesMATLAB

Hi, I am writing a piece of code which opens subfolders ( Simulation_1 to Simulations_10 ) and runs a file named: ( A_File_to_run_programs.m) automatically.

The problem: the current folder stays in the parent directory and not in the folder Simulation_1 to Simulation_10

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Stephan,

I am a beginner so thanks for the information, pertaining to debugging and how to really use mathlab correctly.

I will strucute my code different, so as you said will pass thru the directory path.

Thanks a million.

MATLAB: When I run an m-file, Is there a way to “change current folder” to the folder that this m-file is placed, by means of some commands at the beginng of the file

mfileinfo = mfilename('fullpath');
mfiledir = fileparts(mfileinfo);
olddir = pwd;
onCleanup(@() cd(olddir));
cd(mfiledir);

The above will also cd back to the previous directory when the function exits.

MATLAB: Using dir() without changing directory

Use an absolute path rather than a relative path (as proposed in the comments). It's easier to get it right. Thus try

sad = dir( fullfile( 'c:', 'specific', 'folder',  ['*K1*.json'] )  );
