how to writetable to specifc folder

Hello,

iam really new to Matlab and i want to write a table to another folder than the maindirectory. My code so far:

meanVal=[1,2,3,4];
X_mean_vect=[5,6,7,8];

average_pulsduration= meanVal';
 Event_number= X_mean_vect' ;
  T = table(average_pulsduration,Event_number)

my_directory = 'D:\PPL Server Programme\_Last Version 20150526\MATLAB\Pulsduration table';  
Pulsdauer = [my_directory '.txt'];

writetable(T,Pulsdauer);

The outcome is, it still saves the .txt in the mainfolder with the name Pulsduration table.

i tried so much things, but i cant figure out how to save it into th FOLDER pulsduration table

thanks

You have to give your file a name. You do:

my_directory = 'D:\PPL Server Programme\_Last Version 20150526\MATLAB\Pulsduration table';  
Pulsdauer = [my_directory '.txt'];

Which simply appends .txt to what you intend as a directory path, but when it interprets this it assumes that the 'Pulsduration table' must be the filename since it has .txt appended to it. So you want e.g.

my_directory = 'D:\PPL Server Programme\_Last Version 20150526\MATLAB\Pulsduration table';  
Pulsdauer = [my_directory 'SomeFileName.txt'];

Well now i get a filename called "Pulsduration tableSomeFileName.txt" still in the mainfolder

Ah yes, I just edited your current solution rather than what I tested:

Pulsdauer  = fullfile( my_directory, 'SomeFileName.txt'] );

or

Pulsdauer = [my_directory filesep 'SomeFileName.txt'];

should work

Well it worked. Thanks.
