MATLAB: Save variables in a new directory (not current directory)

savevariables

Hi. I'd save variables from the workspace into a file putting it into a new directory (not the curr dir). I use the command 'save' but it doesn't it! Thanking you for your attention, I'm looking forward for your answers.

you have to use save with the entire path..

 save('C:\My folder\filename','varname')

You could also look at the FULLFILE comamnd

 doc fullfile

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');

MATLAB: Retrieve data from Hard Drive (Local Directory)

I would think that you need to use the dir command. If the files are located in your C drive then:

clear all
TopFolder = 'C:\';
SubFolder = dir(TopFolder);
SubFolder = SubFolder(3:end); % the first two here are just pointers
a = struct2cell(SubFolder);
Name = a(1,:);

This will give you the name of the files where your data is located. You then need to obtain the name of each of the files in that folder:

b = cellfun(@(x)dir(fullfile(TopFolder,x)),Name,'un',0);
c = cellfun(@(x)x(3:end),b,'un',0);
d = cellfun(@(x)struct2cell(x),c,'un',0);
FileS = cellfun(@(x)x(1,:),d,'un',0);

You can then import the data using one of the built in matlab functions:

If your data is stored in a text file I would recommend using textscan.
