MATLAB: String variable and command prompt

cdMATLABsystem

I know you can use a string variable with cd such as dir = 'C:Users\User\Documents\Matlab' then cd(dir). Is that same type of command possible using the system command such as [status] = system('move dir\file.txt newlocation')

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: Any MATLAB function that takes one or more character vectors as input can be called in command mode see command-vs-function documentation for more information.

I am a bit surprised you had to ask is something not working the way you expect it to?

MATLAB: Dir(cd)

dir is a function that takes a look in a determined folder (and subfolder if you command).

cd without arguments is your actual location

dir(cd) would bring you all the files in your actual location.

files = dir(cd);

Will return a struct with name of the file, folder,a boolean value about if it is a folder or not, and its modification date.

Hope it helps!
