MATLAB: Am i getting this error in the following line of code

Question

disp (' ');

name = input ('Enter a name for the folder (single quotes): '); % input folder's name

mkdir (name);

It was running fine when i tested it… 'Test' by giving this string name

disp (' ');

name = inputdlg ('Enter a name for the folder (single quotes): '); % input folder's name

mkdir (name);

now when i enter a string 'Test' as my folder name in this dialogue box i get error which says…

Error using mkdir

Argument must contain a string.

Answer 1

Rizwana, in this case use

 name = inputdlg ('Enter a name for the folder (single quotes): ');
 mkdir (name{1});

Note the curly brackets.
