MATLAB Central Newsreader - uigetfile fullfile and mkdir

uigetfile fullfile and mkdir

onur alptekin — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:00:19 -0500

hello;
i'm trying to generate a folder using uigetfile by gui. ui get file saves inputs in cell arrays.
I want to generate a folder in the name of input data.
for example ;
data(1)='12345'; % saved as cell because of the uigetfile function
f1=fullfile('C:', 'Program Files', 'MATLAB','R2008A,'work',data(1));
%last pathname(data(1)) should be 12345 by the input

if(exist(f1)==0)
makedir(f1);
end

This code doesnt work correctly. I dont know how to export the data in cell array to the fullfile function.
Help please:)

Try:

data{1}='12345';
f1=fullfile('C:', 'Program Files', 'MATLAB','R2008A,'work',data{1});

Cell arrays need to be assigned / referenced with curly brackets.
