GUI Warning: Directory not founded

For the GUI edit1 window:

name = get(handles.edit1,'string');

For the pushbutton window:

global name

cd 'C:\Users\Alex\Documents\MATLAB\Projects'

mkdir(name)

I got the following warning,

Warning: An empty directory name was given. No directory will be created.

This syntax may not be supported in future releases.

I tried different solutions but all of them not working,

Please help

Don't use global variables. They are very unreliable. Just share data between callbacks instead. It's anyone's guess what might have set the global name variable between whenyou think you set it to what you want and when you try to use it. It's not even obvious from the code snippet you gave whether you are declaring it as global in the first place or retrieving it as global when you try to use it. Without both a global variable will not work.
