How to move indexed files say file_1, file_2, file_3 to indexed folder_1, folder_2, folder 3. I am using for loop to create these folders and files in an indexed and automatic manner.....but how to move these files into these folders...Plz help

FileBaseName='MyDataFile_'                     %set file base name Mydatafile
FolderBaseName='Case_'                          %set folder base name case_

parameter=[1 12]                                       %using these array values, CONTENT of each CASE file is written

for i=1:length(parameter)
    filename=[FileBaseName,num2str(i)]                 %indexed filenames
    folderName=[FolderBaseName,num2str(i)]        %indexed foldernames 
                mkdir([FolderBaseName,num2str(i)])                     % make folder first
    fileID = fopen(filename,'w');                                           %open file for writing
               THC=parameter(i)                                            %choose parameter value for writing
    fprintf(fileID, 'chosen value is %2.2f', THC);                      %write the content to file
          fclose(fileID)                                                      %close the file

% for j=1:1:length(parameter)
% move CASE1 TO FOLDER1 (BUT HOW ??)
%I TRIED USING MOVEFILE but its not working
%END
end

>> Files="file_"+(1:5)

Files = 

  1×5 string array

    "file_1"    "file_2"    "file_3"    "file_4"    "file_5"

>> Folders="folder_"+(1:5)

Folders = 

  1×5 string array

    "folder_1"    "folder_2"    "folder_3"    "folder_4"    "folder_5"
    
>> for i=1:5, movefile(Files{i},Folders{i}); end

%your code works now......i edited this post and updated it before you noticed ...here's the %working example of it

%hope it helps others

%and accepting your solution...and mighty appreciate your help

parameter=[1 12 14 15 18]

for i=1:length(parameter)

Files = ['file_' sprintf('%d',i) '];

Folders = ['folder_' sprintf('%d',i)];

mkdir(Folders)

fileID = fopen(Files,'w');

THC=parameter(i)

fprintf(fileID, 'the chosen value is %2.2f', THC);

fclose(fileID)

end

% this makes five files and folders exactly in the name format as in your code

Files="file_"+(1:5)

Folders="folder_"+(1:5)

for i=1:5

movefile(Files{i},Folders{i});

end

Now that i have create separate cases in separate folders

How can i copy or create a unique "folder" say "PostPorocessingResults" inside each case folder?

please help in this regard

[shadman khan]

Well never mind, i just ocmpleted this also by creating separate folders of postprocessing and moving them into it using the same technique
