add words to the end of a path

Hi! I need to add the string or char my version or my version complete to the end of a path.

I tried this way but I can't find the solution. Thanks for the help!

pdest1 = 'C:\....\....\....\.....';
name = "my version"; 
% name1 = "my version complete"; 

strPieces = strsplit(pdest1,"\");
number_places = numel(strPieces);

strPieces(number_places + 1) = name;   % or name1
number_places = numel(strPieces);
    
composition = strcat(strPieces(1:number_places));
final_str = join(composition, "\");
    
final_char = convertStringsToChars(final_str);

Avoid fiddling around with text like that.

Just use FULLFILE.

pdest1 = 'C:\....\....\....\.....';
name = "my version"; 
string(pdest1) + name

ans = "C:\....\....\....\.....my version"

More robust is to use fullfile like @Stephen23 recommended:

pdest1 = 'C:\....\....\....\.....';
name = "my version"; 
fullFileName = fullfile(pdest1, name)

fullFileName = "C:\....\....\....\...../my version"

Note, the directions of the slashes doesn't matter in Windows - it will work regardless. It added a forward slash here probably because the server is a Unix server.
