I am using matlab file in which i am able to create the new folder according to the time, but the thing is i want to copy the files from a specific file to this newly made folder according to time.

dfile=[datestr(now,'mm-dd-yyyy HH.MM.SS'),'folder']; mkdir(dfile);

this is my code for making new folder with time, how to add some files from specific location/folder to this newly made folder. It should be like every time we make new folder those files should be included.

thanks

use movefile or copyfile

Yea this way you can put the file in any other file with the name you choose...i want to copy the file into the folder that already created with the date and time as a name of the folder...

for example the option you saying will make a newfolder and will copy the oldfolder files in it... mkdir newFolder copyfile 'oldfolder' 'newFolder'

you understand what i mean?

mkdir makes new folder. You have already used mkdir(dfile).

I suggest to use copy file after that.

 copyfile('yourfile.m',dfile)
