Hi,

I've written (thanks also to this newsgroup!) the following script
for opening multiple files, e.g.:
test_0001
test_0002
....

for i=1:N
   xx=sprintf('%4d',i);
   tag=strrep(xx,' ','0');
   all=['test_',tag,'.txt'];
   fid = fopen(all, 'at');
end

this allows to create all the files in the /work matlab subfolder.

I need to create these files in a subdirectory such as
/work/test

How can I manage it?

Thanks for helping

take a look at FULLFILE
myfullfile = fullfile(mydir, myfilename) ;

btw, avoid using function names (ALL) as variable names ...

Hi Bart,

I guess your files are created in a folder something like
C:\Program\MATLAB7\work. Before you create the files you must change
the current directory to C:\Program\MATLAB7\work\test. It can be done
like this

filePath='C:\Program\MATLAB7\work\test'
cd(filePath)

Commands such as mkdir, dir, fileparts, mfilename, path, pwd, what,
dir, fileattrib, filebrowser, fileparts, ls, mfilename, movefile,
rmdir and so on may also be useful when handling files.

I hope this helps.
