Saving pictures with right names

Hello everyone,

i try to move a certain number of pictures from one folder to another one.

I am using this Code, but cannot figure out how to declare the name correctly.

myFolder = 'C:\Users\jungh\Desktop\Studienarbeit\200526_calibrationGalvo\Pictures\testdurchlauf110620(funktioniert)'; %Ordner festlegen, wo Bilder liegen
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, '*.png'); % Change to whatever pattern you need.
theFiles = dir(filePattern);
for k = length(theFiles):-1 : 1
    baseFileName = theFiles(k).name;
    fullFileName = fullfile(theFiles(k).folder, baseFileName);
    fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', fullFileName);
    imwrite(baseFileName, ['C:\Users\jungh\Desktop\Studienarbeit\200526_calibrationGalvo\Pictures\testdurchlauf110620(funktioniert)\PicturesDiagram\%s.png', baseFileName]);
end

Hope someone can help me:)

Have a great day,

Lucas:)

imwrite required that you load the image. Here you just want to move the files using their filename. Use movefile() function. Something like this will work

myFolder = 'C:\Users\jungh\Desktop\Studienarbeit\200526_calibrationGalvo\Pictures\testdurchlauf110620(funktioniert)'; %Ordner festlegen, wo Bilder liegen
destFolder = 'C:\Users\jungh\Desktop\Studienarbeit\200526_calibrationGalvo\Pictures\testdurchlauf110620(funktioniert)\PicturesDiagram\';
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, '*.png'); % Change to whatever pattern you need.
theFiles = dir(filePattern);
for k = length(theFiles):-1 : 1
    baseFileName = theFiles(k).name;
    sourceFileName = fullfile(theFiles(k).folder, baseFileName);
    fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', sourceFileName);
    destFileName = fullfile(destFolder, baseFileName);
    imwrite(sourceFileName, destFileName);
end
