Save figures in a subfolder after 2 for loops?

3 views (last 30 days)
I have created 2 for loop. The first is for 5 subjects. The second one is for 4 measurements. Then I have a code to save a figure for each subject per test. But now it stores each figure in my main folder 'Data_examen'. I want to create a subfolder for each subject, so 'Subject1'...'Subject5'. And each subfolder must contain the 4 figures of their measurements... I have no idea how to do this. But this is my code I already have:
for welke_pp=1:aantal_pp %for 5 subjects
...
end
for i_testen=1:length(data_stair_rise)-1 %for 4 measurements
folder = 'Data_examen' %my main folder (where I want to create my subfolders...)
% Create a PNG filename.
pngFileName = sprintf('3Dplot_subject%d_trial%d.png', welke_pp, i_testen);
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, pngFileName);
saveas(gcf,fullFileName); %save current opened figure

use mkdir to create a folder and change the folder name you save on to the relevant folder.
and you can use cd, dir and other command to see or move to other folders.

Thanks a lot! But it only works if I already have created a folder. Is it possible that Matlab makes the folder for me?

mkdir('TestFolder')
